Based on my reference, primitive types have default values and Objects are null. I tested a piece of code.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a;
System.out.println(a);
}
}
The line System.out.println(a); will be an error pointing at the variable a that says variable a might not have been initialized whereas in the given reference, integer will have 0 as a default value. However, with the given code below, it will actually print 0.
public class Main {
static int a;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(a);
}
}
What could possibly go wrong with the first code? Does class instance variable behaves different from local variables?

In the first code sample, a is a main method local variable. Method local variables need to be initialized before using them.
In the second code sample, a is class member variable, hence it will be initialized to default value .
