When no initializer is specified for an object of (possibly
cv-qualified) class type (or array thereof), or the initializer has
the form(),
the object is initialized as specified in [[dcl.init]](dcl.init "9.5 Initializers")[.](#1.sentence-1)

An object of class type (or array thereof) can be explicitly initialized;
see [[class.expl.init]](class.expl.init "11.9.2 Explicit initialization") and [[class.base.init]](class.base.init "11.9.3 Initializing bases and members")[.](#2.sentence-1)

When an array of class objects is initialized
(either explicitly or implicitly) and the elements are initialized by constructor,
the constructor shall be called for each element of the array,
following the subscript order; see [[dcl.array]](dcl.array "9.3.4.5 Arrays")[.](#3.sentence-1)

[*Note [1](#note-1)*:

Destructors for the array elements are called in reverse order of their
construction[.](#3.sentence-2)
