Zero Values

All types in Odin have a Zero Value. As the name implies, this is the value of the type where every byte is zeroed. There are a few expressions to create a zero value:

• For all types: {} will produce the zero value. x: Foo = {}, x: int = {}, x: ^int = {}

• For numeric types, 0 will produce the zero value. x: int = 0, x: quaternion128 = 0, x: f32 = 0

• For nilable types, nil will produce the zero value. x: ^int = nil, x: []Foo = nil For a full list of nilable types, see Nilable Types
