How do I get a const_iterator using auto?

Question

First question: is it possible to \"force\" a const_iterator using auto? For example:

map usa         


        

Answer 1

You can use auto to "track" a type or "deduce" a type: // deduce auto city_it = usa.find("New York");

// track auto city_it = std::map::const_iterator( usa.find("New York"));

Also, watch is modern c++ style talks by Herb Sutter, which covers most of these type deductions guidance. https://youtu.be/xnqTKD8uD64
