The = assignment operator represents either the assignment operator in an assignment statement or a relational operator in a conditional expression.
Syntax
|
var = exp exp = exp |
Description
The = operator does not require surrounding spaces, although they are commonly added for clarity.
In logical (conditional) expressions, the eq symbol is an alternative to the = sign.
Example(s)
This use of the = sign illustrates assignment. The array element on the left side of the = sign is assigned the current value of the variable, name.
|
customer.item<1> = name |
This example illustrates a conditional expression. If the value of the variable answer is quit, the expression evaluates to true and the statement following the then condition is executed.
|
if answer = "quit" then stop |
