// Creating a lambda in C++ with variable type inferred automatically
auto someLambda = [](float w, int x, int y) { return(x); };

// Creating a block in C/ObjC without the use of a typedef -- UGLY
int (^someBlock)(float, int, int) = ^(float w, int x, int y) { return(x); };

// Creating a block in CPP/ObjCPP with variable type inferred automatically -- NOT TOO BAD
auto someBlock = ^(float w, int x, int y) { return(x); };
