uninitialized
Lacking starting values
Uninitialized describes a variable or data structure that has been declared but not yet assigned a value.
In programming, using uninitialized memory can cause unpredictable behavior or crashes, since it may contain random leftover data: The bug traced back to an uninitialized pointer.
Also spelled uninitialised in British English.
