Initializing datatypes in another function

Hi All ,

I would like someone to guide me as to how to go about doing this . I would like to initialise all my dataypes in one function and call them from main . Is this a possiblity ?

Code:


void Initialize();

void Initialize()
{
 int t = 4 ;
 int time ;
 char name;
}

void main()
{
 Initialize();
 printf(" t = %d", t);
}

Hi,

Either

- you need to use global variables, initialized inside your function, which is not often recommended as there could be unexpected side effects leading to ambiguous situations when the program becomes larger in future

- Or an initializing function returning the initialized variables, but again the types must already have been declared globally.
