How does c++ (c++0x) handle implicitly typed variables?

Question

I am trying to learn how to use implicitly typed variables in c++.

Should i be using 'auto' from C++0x? If so how?

Can some one provide me with a simple example or a good tutorial on this?

Thank you.

Answer 1

auto x = f();

The type of x will be whatever f() returns.

Answer 2

Check out this explanation from Bjarne Stroustrup himself: auto -- deduction of a type from an initializer.
