Assignment: =, :=

The assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable. it can be used for any data type with the only condition that the first parameter (left side) must be a value receiver, for example a variable. depending on the programming language can be different terms for the assignment of values to the variables, for example depending on the type.

=

Description

var =expression;

Used keywords: =

Input

var - value receiver
expression - Expressions

Output

Result - Any

Examples

Example

Assignment the possible of use:

x = 1.234;         // x = 1.234
y = x * 3.14;      // y = 3.87476
if (y<5)
   y = y/ 3.14;    // y = 1.234

z = (x+y+30)+3;

i = i-5;

y = x / 0.5;

x =0;
