Initializing Variables

Default Values

In Studio, all variables are automatically initialized when first used if there is a suitable default value for the variable's type. The following table summarizes the default values that are used for each type:
Variable Type Default Value
Numeric 0
String ""
Any null
Time 'now'
Interval '0s'

Initialization

Variables can be initialized during declaration as in the following example:
name as String = "Hello"
Variables can also be initialized after declaration by using an Assignment Statement as in the following example:
name as String
name = "Hello"
