Local variables default value in Java

Question:  What is default value of a local variables?
Ans: The local variables are not initialized to any default values. We should
not use local variables with out initialization. Even the java COMPILER(very important, not runtime but
during compile time itself error is thrown) throws error.

Example: 
class AbstractDemo{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	    
		me(10);
	}
	public static void me(int n)
	{
		int k;
		System.out.println(k);
	}
}

Output: Complilation Error: Local variable k not initialized
