Initialise all variables before useThis tip submitted by Mounish on 2005-06-22 03:22:28.

For instance, it is very helpful to set all pointers to NULL when you declare them; that way, if you accidentally use an uninitialized pointer, you will get a segmentation fault rather than weird memory errors that appear random and are difficult to trace to the root cause.
