>>The next example demonstrates initializing a vector: >> vector<int> v = {1,2,3,5,8,13}; >>This is great, of course. The example after that introduces "auto" so you don't have to write the type of a variable. Well heck, let's combine the two! >> auto v = {1,2,3,5,8,13}; The auto example creates an std::initializer_list which then can be converted into a vector or a set std::vector<int> newvectorfromauto(v); std::set<int> newsetfromauto(v); Which seems the best you can expect with auto deduction. What else do you have in mind?
