Complete Modern C++ - Automatic Type Inference (C++11)

The video explains the auto keyword in C++, its historical context, and its modern usage for type inference. It covers how auto works with initializers, expressions, and function calls, and its interaction with qualifiers like static and const. The video also discusses using auto with references, pointers, and initializer lists, highlighting the importance of initializers for type inference. The video concludes with a brief mention of the next topic, the range-based for loop.
