Look the subject,that's my problem!

It is better to put the entire question in the body of the post.

I hope someone can help me, thanks

What does your text book say? What is the difference between a car and a
road? Anyway, register is a hint to the compiler (which normally is not
needed and has not been needed for many years) which affects what you
can do with a variable, auto has not been needed as part of the language
for even longer since where it is legal the variable would have
automatic storage duration without using it.

Another hint is that many processors have registers but I'm not aware of
any that have autos.
