title: In C# what is the default value of the bytes when creating a new byte array?
body: <p>The answer to this question has eluded my search.</p>
  
  <p>When I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  var authToken = new byte[16]; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the value of authToken[0]?</p>
  
  <p>Is it null or zero?</p>
