Does this answer your question? [Should the trailing return type syntax style become the default for new C++11 programs?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11215227/should-the-trailing-return-type-syntax-style-become-the-default-for-new-c11-pr) – Brian61354270 Aug 04 '20 at 19:34

Your modern C++ book should cover this. – Asteroids With Wings Aug 04 '20 at 19:35

Note: This is C++ syntax and has *absolutely nothing* to do with C. There is no such thing as C/C++. – tadman Aug 04 '20 at 19:36
