  And what does it mean there? (automatic storage duration)
  • tirrex 6y ago
    Do you mean automatic type deduction? Edit : I know it’s also storage specifier but it also does type deduction here, hope I’m not confused with the terminology
    • volta83 6y ago
      It doesn't do type deduction there. In original C you could declare variables without a type, and these variables with auto have no type. So this "auto" is essentially saying "this variable without a type uses automatic storage". That's a completely different language feature from "deduce the type of this variable".

        Thanks.

        A variable without a type is 'int' so ```auto xx;``` means an int on the function local variable stack.

      No, it doesn't do type deduction. Without specifying the type, it assumes a type of int. Everything in C revolves around ints.

      here it means automatic storage duration
  • jstanley 6y ago
    It means it lives on the stack, so it "exists" until the function returns.

      That is true, but more nuanced. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_storage_classes.htm https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_storage_classe...
