`=` (assign) operator

The right-associative, binary infix = operator is used to assign a value to a variable-annotated attribute

Usage

variable Integer num = 1; // assign
num = 2; //assign
Integer three = 3 // specify

If an attribute (or a parameter default) is non-variable then it cannot be assigned. Instead it is specified using a statement;

The = operator is primitive.

The = operator is not polymorphic.

The result type of the = operator is the type of the right hand operand.
