Is there auto type inferring in Java?

Question

Is there an auto variable type in Java like you have in C++?

An example:

for ( auto var : object_array)
    std::cout << var <<          


        

Answer 1

Might be Java 10 has what you (and I) want, through the var keyword.

var list = new ArrayList();  // infers ArrayList
var stream = list.stream();          // infers Stream

Update: Yap, that feature made it into the Java 10 release!
