Answer 1

so, let's learn type inference first which is basically refers to automatic deduction of the data type of an expression in a programming language.

before C++ 11 all the variables in c++ have to explicitly declare but after the release of c++ 11, the compiler itself deduces the type of the variable at runtime.

we can use it for variables and even in the case of function return types. but, it's suggested to avoid using auto in function return type.
