Inferred type

Syntax
InferredType_

The inferred type asks the compiler to infer the type if possible based on the surrounding information available.

Example

The inferred type is often used in generic arguments:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let x: Vec<_> = (0..10).collect();
}

The inferred type cannot be used in item signatures.
