Synopsis: variable_name = value;
An assignment statement is almost the same as a declaration statement. Just leave out the declaration. It is an error to assign a value to a variable that has not already been declared or to a variable of different data type.
Example 8.3. Variable Assignment
{
integer number = 0;
number = number + 1;
number = 2 * number;
number = "Don't assign me to integers!"; // This will cause an error!!!
}
