int var = 1; void main() { int i = i; }

Question

This is an interview question that I had:

int var = 1;
void main()
{
    int i = i;
}

What is the value of i after assignment?

Answer 1

I had the same interview question and I can confirm that it was indeed int var = 1;

Which implies that that does make some difference. I would run the code but I'm not at my PC right now.

I agree that questions like these are daft for interviews. By analogy it's like if someone is interviewing for a job as a chef and the question is "If you fed someone a spoonful of e coli, drizzled with typhoid, how sick would they get?". You're unlikely to ever need that knowledge in the job.
