8. Assignments

Assignments are used to directly store values in variables. A single assignment may involve any number of values and variables. The same value may be assigned to any number of variables, while a group of values may be assigned to a group of variables, respectively.

8.1. Syntax

Assignable     ::=  Variable | IndexOperation | Attribute
AssignmentVars ::=  [ Assignable "," ]* Assignable
Assignment     ::=  [ AssignmentVars "=" ]* AssignmentVars "=" [ Value "," ]* Value

8.2. Examples

8.2.1. Single Variable

width = 5
length = 10
height = 6

futureState = currentState = true

8.2.2. Multi Variable

# Defines a Rectangular Prism
width, length, height = 5, 10, 6


# The upperLimit is set to the currentPosition, then
# The currentPosition is set to the lowerLimit
upperLimit, currentPosition = currentPosition, lowerLimit


# velocity is equal to speed which is equal to 55.25, and
# mass is equal to weight which is 100
velocity, mass = speed, weight = 55.25, 100
