Local Type Inference Cheat Sheet for Java 10 and beyond!

What's this blog post about?

Local type inference for Java 10 and beyond allows developers to replace explicit types with the new reserved type name 'var', which infers the variable's type at compile time. This feature aims to reduce clutter and improve code readability without compromising understandability. However, it is crucial to consider factors such as variable names, scope, initializer information, and potential risks when using var for local variables. By following guidelines and best practices, developers can effectively utilize this new feature to enhance their Java coding experience.
