Declaring vs Initializing a variable?

Question

I\'m curious to know the difference between declaring a variable, and initializing a variable. e.g.

var example; // this is declaring

var example = \"hi\" /         


        

Answer 1

Declaring is introduction of a new name in the program.

var test;        // Is this a declaration ?

Initialization refers to the "assignment" of a value.

var test = {first:"number_one"}  // Now that object is initialized with value
