auto isn’t dynamic typing it’s just type inference.
I’m aware, but one of the big arguments I’ve heard about dynamic typing is “I don’t know which type it has when I read the code”. Well, auto looks just like var in that regard.
Lambdas are just a way of defining methods in place. It has nothing to do with callbacks.
In computer programming, a callback is a function that is stored as data (a reference) and designed to be called by another function – often back to the original abstraction layer.
This is exactly what lambdas are often used for in C++.
It really isn’t. Neither in C# nor in Java. They are just syntactic sugar to avoid redundant type specifications. I mean things like Foofoo=newFoo();. Who gets confused with that?
Why do you think IDEs are able to tell which type a variable is?
Even C# takes a step further and allows developer to omit the constructor with their target-typed new expressions. No one is whining about dynamic types just because the language let’s you instantiate an object with Foofoo=new();.
