| byte | 0 |
| char | no default; must be initialized explicitly |
| object | cannot be instantiated |
| string | "" (the empty string) |
| int, int16, int32, int64 | 0 |
| nat, nat16, nat32, nat64 | 0 |
| single, double, real | 0 |
| pointer type | null |
| array type | its elements are recursively initialized to their default value |
