SLR or single lens reflex refers to a particular type of camera in which the image and the viewfinder are both taken from one lens. effectively WYSIWYG.
auto focus auto exposure modes have been available in SLR cameras for a very long time thus making them "automatic."
As a side note an SLR need not have exchangeable lenses to be an SLR nor are all cameras with exchangeable lenses SLR's.
The primary advantage of SLR's is the fact that the image in the viewfinder is pretty much the image that you get when you release the shutter.

Do SLR camera have zoom?
Yes, SLR's (Single Lens Reflex) cameras have the ability to change lenses from the body to adapt to different photo situations. The benefit is that all functions relating to the photo are functions of the lens. You control the aperture (the amount of light passing through the lens), focus, and zoom from the lens, the only function native to the camera is shutter speed. On automatic SLR's the camera body does all of the light calculations and transmits the information to the lens for you.
