Assignment

• The way that you put a value into the space named by the variable is called assignment:

• Note that this is not the same as “=“ in math. You can say things like:which means take the old value of x, add 1, and store it back into x. In fact this is such a common operation, there is an abbreviation:

int x, y;

x = 8;

y = 2 * x;

Take the value on the right of

the “=“ and store it into the place

named on the left.

x = x + 1;

x++;
