Assignment Operators

Assignment operators set a variable to a given value. In the following examples, "variable" denotes an operand which must be a variable, while "number" may be a variable or constant of numeric type, or an operator that returns a numeric value. Where "operand" is used, you may substitute a variable or operand of any data type, or another operator.
