👉 The term "initializing" is a command or instruction that initiates an action, process, or operation. It typically involves setting up variables or parameters to contain specific data values before performing any other actions on them. For example: ``` int x = 5; cout << "x = " << x; // Outputs: x = 5 ``` In this example, the variable `x` is initialized with a value of 5 and then printed out using the cout statement.
