What is type deduction in C++?
Type inference or deduction refers to the automatic detection of the data type of an expression in a programming language. It is a feature present in some strongly statically typed languages. In C++, the auto keyword(added in C++ 11) is used for automatic type deduction. For example, you want to create an iterator to iterate over a vector, you can simply use auto for that purpose.
Example
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
int main() {
vector<int> arr(10);
for(auto it = arr.begin(); it != arr.end(); it ++) {
cin >> *it;
}
return 0;
}In the above program, it will automatically get the type std::vector<int>::iterator.
