C++ declaration question

I was reviewing some code that a friend of mine wrote and was wondering what exactly this declaration did...


(This is only a snippet)

Code:

bool x;
bool y;

x = y !=0;

I have never seen this before.

 

Initializes x and y to true.

 

Yes, itz correct..

 

yes, it ofen in use!
int i, j= 3;
it means that i and j are integer and their value is 3;
first j is 3 and next i;

 

x=y !=0

x is equal to y, x and y are not equal to zero. Is that how we read this statement.

i guess its normally used in boolean expressions or if statements.

 

No it is read as y!=0 which is y is initialized to true and then x is equal to y which is again initialized to true.
