The third statement, c = a + b. instructs the computer to add the stored values of the variables a and b, and to assign the result to the variable c. The equals sign in the assignment statement can be thought of as meaning is replaced by or is assigned the result. It is critical to recognize that this use is different from the conventional one wherein the equals sign signifies equality.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
