Description

Assigns a value to a variable.

Syntax

result = expression

The = operator syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
result	Any variable.
expression	Any numeric expression.

Remarks

As the = operator behaves like other operators, expressions using it have a value in addition to assigning that value into variable. This means that you can chain assignment operators as follows:

j = k = l = 0;

j, k, and l will equal zero after the example statement is executed.
