Hello Priya,
This is more like setting default values. Just in case, they are not set in some code paths, the default values will be there.
Thanks,

See this documentation page for a brief discussion of why one may want to preallocate an array.
Imagine you were building a home. Which would be preferable?
  1. Buy a lot large enough to build the entire home.
  2. Build the bathroom.
  3. Build the bedroom.
  4. Build the kitchen.
  5. etc.
or
  1. Buy a lot large enough to build the bathroom.
  2. Build the bathroom.
  3. Buy a new lot large enough to hold the bathroom and a bedroom.
  4. Move the bathroom to the new lot.
  5. Build the bedroom.
  6. Buy a new lot large enough to hold the bathroom, a bedroom, and a kitchen.
  7. Move the bathroom and the bedroom to the new lot.
  8. Build the kitchen.
  9. etc.
Moving a building is hard. Ideally you don't do it, or you do it as few times as you can.
