Learn and Master C Programming - auto' keyword in C

The video tutorial covers the use of static, register, and volatile keywords in C programming. It begins with setting up a new project in Visual Studio, followed by a detailed explanation of the auto keyword. The auto keyword is a storage class modifier that is optional in C, as local variables are automatically allocated and deallocated. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the keyword's role, despite its redundancy in modern C programming.

What is the first step in setting up a new project in Visual Studio?

• Choose 'Build Solution' from the toolbar

• Click on 'File' and then 'New Project'

• Navigate to 'Tools' and select 'Options'

• Select 'Open Project' from the menu

What does the 'auto' keyword specify in C?

• A variable is stored in the register

• A variable is automatically managed on the stack

• A variable is stored in the global memory

• A variable is stored in the heap

Is it necessary to use the 'auto' keyword for local variables in C?

• No, it is optional

• Yes, it is mandatory

• Only for global variables

• Only for static variables

How does the 'auto' keyword in C differ from the 'auto' keyword in C++?

• In C, it is used for global variables; in C++, for local variables

• Both have the same function in C and C++

• In C, it infers type; in C++, it specifies automatic storage duration

• In C, it specifies automatic storage duration; in C++, it infers type

What happens to local variables when a function is exited in C?

• They remain in memory until the program ends

• They are converted to global variables

• They are deallocated from memory

• They are moved to the heap
