The normative document is the one on the Oracle site.

Two things wrong with that advice. First, as written the program does not 
require that the variable be initialized. Second, it is initialized in the 
program the OP posted:

>>  eachKidGetsTen = gumballsPerKid >= 10; 

In the strict sense, it is not initialized but assigned here, but I take the 
liberty of assuming you didn't mean it in the strict sense.
