Yes.

That is actually two global variables. It is the same as writing:

int F = 0;
int OO = 0;

The author scores higher points in the obfuscation contest by using both the
name OO and the number 00 to confuse the reader.

No, it is initialized to 00, which technically is an octal constant (with the
value zero).

The less we understand, the "better" the program is.  :-)
