If the expression list is present, it must have the same number of elements

If the variable type is omitted, an initialization expression (or expression
list) must be present, and the variable type is the type of the expression
value (in case of a list of variables, the variables assume the types of the
corresponding expression values).
If the variable type is omitted, and the corresponding initialization expression
is a constant expression of abstract int or floating point type, the type
of the variable is "int" or "float" respectively:

There are no implicit type conversions except for
constants and literals. In particular, unsigned and signed integer
variables cannot be mixed in an expression without explicit conversion.
There are no implicit type conversions: Except for the shift operators
"<<" and ">>", both operands of a binary operator must have the same type.
In particular, unsigned and signed integer values cannot be mixed in an
expression without explicit conversion.
The shift operators implement arithmetic shifts for signed integers
and logical shifts for unsigned integers. The properties of negative
shift counts are undefined. Unary '^' corresponds to C '~' (bitwise
complement).
The shift operators shift the left operand by the shift count specified by the
right operand. They implement arithmetic shifts if the left operand is a signed
integer, and logical shifts if it is an unsigned integer. The shift count must
be an unsigned integer. There is no upper limit on the shift count. It is
as if the left operand is shifted "n" times by 1 for a shift count of "n".
