FUNCTION: Equals (Assignment Operator)
DESCRIPTION:
The assignment operator is used for three reasons:
(1)
to define and initialize a variable (x = 0) before it is used
(2)
to assign a new value to a variable (x = 5)
(3)
to print a variable or array element (x= which is equivalent to MG x). MG is the preferred
method of printing.
