Assigns a value to a variable.
result = expression
result
Any variable.
expression
Any numeric expression.
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
equal zero after the example statement is executed.
