<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In the Delphi 7 help file it states:<br />
<br />
&quot;Create constructs an object. The purpose, size, and behavior of objects differ greatly. The Create constructor defined by TObject allocates memory but does not initialize data.&quot;<br />
<br />
In Mastering Delphi 7 by Marco Cantu he says (on pg. 54) under Constructors:<br />
<br />
&quot;All of the data of the new instance is set to zero.&quot;<br />
<br />
My question is, does the alllocated memory get initialized to zero, or not?<br />
<br />

Constructors, who is right?

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
