Typedef struct : Default Initialization?

Types don't get "initialized". Only objects of some type get initialized. How and when they get initialized depends on how and where the corresponding object is defined.

You provided no definition of any object in your question, so your question by itself doesn't really make much sense - it lacks necessary context.

First off, the way that struct is declared is in the style of C. In C++ you should just do.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
