It is perfectly initialized to zero, because it's a global variable. Try not to mislead anyone if you actually havn't tried real coding on your own. “x is never initialized.” – not true!

There is no assignment in that statement. If (x==1) # when is that ever going to happen? There is no indication of any loop at this point, this is at the top of main(). I'd be more impressed if at least they made an attempt at putting real code on the cover instead of this crap. The instructions on the board make no sense.

x is never initialized.

x+2; # what is that? There is no assignment in that statement.
