In order to save space and reduce redundancy in Java. Is it okay to do 

public static double a, b, c = 0.0;

instead of

public static double a = 0.0;
public static double b = 0.0;
public static double c = 0.0;

? Also if the variables have different values, is it okay to do

public static double a = 0.0, b = 1.0, c = 2.0;

    Considering that this syntactical sugar goes away at compile time... it doesn't really matter. – ifly6 Feb 23 '16 at 07:05

It should be:

public static double a = 0.0, b = 0.0, c = 0.0;

This way they are equivalent.
Otherwise, you rely on default initialization that is, of course, as if you had assigned 0.0 for a double, but is it is usually considered bad practice.
