 When initializing an array, you can provide fewer values than array elements. For example, the
 following statement initializes only the first two elements of my_array:
-
+```C
 float my_array[5] = {5.0, 2.5};
-
+```
 If you partially initialize an array, the compiler sets the remaining elements to zero.
 
 Now that the array has been declared with 5 values, it has 5 memory locations. Consider this table for a visual example of that:
