Re: What are auto variables?

Posted by Morris Know on 1999-11-15

To elaborate a little bit more (and please correct me if I am wrong Eugene), 
AUTO vaiables are the default type for your local vaiables in your program.  
AUTO int x;  and int x; are the same thing.  What the AUTO refers to is that 
the computer takes care of setting up memory spaces and cleaning up after 
your variable when your program/function starts and stops running.
