I'm new to D programming, but have I have a background with Python.

I'm struggling to understand what the auto keyword is for and it's appropriate uses. From research, it seems to share the same capabilities as the var keyword in C#. From the C# documentation, it states:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/var

... variables that are declared at method scope can have an implicit "type" var. An implicitly typed local variable is strongly typed just as if you had declared the type yourself, but the compiler determines the type.

Is the same true for auto? For example, if I have a class Person, I might have attributes such as FirstName, LastName which should obviously be strings but will D allow me to declare class level attributes with auto?

C# doesn't allow this.
