First, I apologize as this question has been asked before; however, the solutions didn't seem to work in the context of my contract. When I remove "var", Remix does not recognize "car", but with it, I get the warning that "var" is deprecated. I've tried using "struct car" and "struCar", but neither worked. How should I replace var?

mapping(uint => Vehicle) vehicles;


function newCar(bytes32 _color, bytes32 _make, uint32 _year) public returns (uint ID) {
    var car = vehicles[carID];
    car.color = _color;
    car.make = _make;
    car.year = _year;
    carID ++;
    ID = carID;

Just replace var with the actual type:

Vehicle car = ...;

  • Hmm. With that I get "Warning: Variable is declared as a storage pointer. Use an explicit "storage" keyword to silence this warning". So can I enter "Vehicle storage car =" ? Also, is there anything bad about pointing to storage? – CreatedAMadman May 27 '18 at 21:56

    To silence the warning, use Vehicle storage car = .... – user19510 May 27 '18 at 21:57
  • Okay, thank you. But just curious. Why does it warn me that it points to storage? Is this because storage is expensive and it wants to make sure I intended it for storage? – CreatedAMadman May 27 '18 at 21:59

    It's just to prevent mistakes. uint256 x is in memory, while Vehicle y is in storage. Storage is the rare case, and being explicit tells the compiler you know what's happening. – user19510 May 27 '18 at 22:03
