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

In Java 8, you can use lambda type inference to avoid declaring the type. The analogue to the questioner's examples would be:

object_array.forEach(obj -> System.out.println(obj)); 
object_array.forEach(obj -> obj.do_something_that_only_this_particular_obj_can_do());

both of which can also be simplified using method references:

object_array.forEach(System.out::println); 
object_array.forEach(ObjectType::do_something_that_only_this_particular_obj_can_do);
