			OPERATOR: = Implemented in version 1.0 = The operator is used to assign a value to a variable, or to compare strings and numbers, or to print out the value of a variable. When used for assignment, a single variable on the left side of the = operator is given the value determined by one or more variables and/or expressions on the right side. Code: <% mynumber = 5.0 + 7.9*(444.999 / 456.9) %> <% mystring = "The moon is 2160 miles in diameter." %> <% myvar = xxx + yyy + zzz %> <% myarray(40) = 12345 %> The = operator can also compare two strings or two numbers and see if they are the same. For strings, the comparison is case sensitive. Code: <% ="Apple"="Apple" %> <% ="aPPle"="ApplE" %> <% =123=123 %> <% =5.67=98.7 %> Output: True False True False When the = operator is used to print out the value of a variable, the statement must be enclosed by its own set of <% %>. There can blank spaces between the = operator and the variable. Code: <% myfish = "Neon tetra" %> <% =myfish %> <% = myfish %> Output: Neon tetra Neon tetra
