C: Is this type of initialization correct?

int startingPoint[2]={i,j};

I got this after reading an online code.Is this correct? Means if values of i and j can be changed at runtime before this statement, will this initialize the array with the correct values? Please explain.

Yes that is a correct C code(will work on all modern C compilers).However that wont work on a C89 compiler.

Yes! 

scanf("%d %d",i,j);
/* some code */

int abc[]={i,j};

This works in C99 but not in C89.
