= (assignment) operator

Type	Assocation	Precedence	Input types	Output types
binary	right	1	bool int float complex color	bool int float complex color

This operator assigns the right operand to the left operand (the left operand must be a variable) and returns the right operand. In other words, it stores the right operand in the variable on the left.

For more information on assignments, see Expressions and Variables.

Examples:

a = b = (3, 2)
a = 3.23 - 8 * (a - 13 / x)

Note: don't confuse this operator with the == (equality) operator.
