Generally, you should always initialize the variable where it is
declared. What would happen if the variable goes out of scope before it
gets initialized? Now it is not dangerous, but if new code is added and
it returns because of some error, we might run into trouble.
In this particular case you can solve this easily by putting together
your modification and the assignment right after the comment.
