No, D only does bottom-up type inference, not top down.
If you want to avoid repeating the type, use `auto` on the left
side:
```d
auto time = to!uint(data[1]);
auto priority = to!int(data[2]);
```
Okay thanks. It finally clicked what bottom-up/top-down type
interference is.
The auto solution won't work for a struct however which I'm using:
```D
struct procTable{ //contains all the fields inside a file I'm
parsing
uint time;
int priority;
string name;
// etc
}
```
