My searches revealed only a partial answer to int a{1}; What does this do and why might I use it?

It merely initialises the variable to the value in braces.

int i = 1; // and
int i{1};
// are the same

I should have included "initialize" in my search. On one hand it really doesn't add anything. On the other, it can standardize initialization methods. An int can be initialized in the same manner as an array. That is of little significance, but often consistency adds more than is immediately apparent. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
