Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

# The Facts of `auto`
Automatic type deduction with `auto` is extremely convenient. Firstly, we save unnecessary typing, in particular with challenging template expressions. Secondly, the compiler does not make human errors. 

The compiler automatically deduces the type from the initializer:
```c++
auto myDoub = 3.14;
```
## Key Features 
* The techniques for automatic function [template argument deductions](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/template_argument_deduction) are used.
* It is very helpful in complicated template expressions.
* It empowers us to work with unknown types. 
* It must be used with care in combination with initializer lists. 

The following code compares the definition of explicit and deduced types:

In this lesson, we will discuss the automatic type deduction using auto.
