<clause number="17.4.4" title="Field initialization">
<paragraph>The initial value of a field, whether it be a static field or an instance field, is the default value (<hyperlink>12.2</hyperlink>) of the field's type. It is not possible to observe the value of a field before this default initialization has occurred, and a field is thus never &quot;uninitialized&quot;. <example>[Example: The example <code_example><![CDATA[
using System;
class Test
{
static bool b;
int i;
static void Main() {
Test t = new Test();
Console.WriteLine("b = {0}, i = {1}", b, t.i);
}
}
]]></code_example>produces the output <code_example><![CDATA[
b = False, i = 0
]]></code_example>because b and i are both automatically initialized to default values. end example]</example> </paragraph>
