SBasic language reference::Assignment statement

Assignment statement
Assigns variable, constant, or expression to variable or array item

Format:

 var_name = value

Syntax:

var_name
Required. Name of existing or new variable or an element of an array.
value
Required. Any literal, variable, constant, or expression to assign to variable

Remarks:

1. if var_name was never declared before assigment statement automatically declares it.

2. SBasic always performs semantic declaration checks. E.g. if (value) is a variable that has been never declared before you will be warned on the compilation time about the variable that is trying to be used but was not referenced yet.

2. If test_expression matches an expression_list clause in more than one Case clause, only the statements following the first match are executed.

Example:

  i = 1                'variable i is assigned the integer const value 1.
  s = "hi"             'variable s is assigned the string const value "hi".
  a = 2+2*2            'variable a is assigned the expression
  b = (2+2)*8          'variable b is assigned the expression
  c[1] = (a+b)*(i+1)   'array item a is assigned the expression
