-Assignment Operator (``=``)
-===========================
-
-Stores the value to the right of the equal sign in the variable to
-the left of the equal sign.
-
-The single equal sign in the C++ programming language is called the
-assignment operator. It has a different meaning than in algebra
-class, where it indicated an equation or equality. The assignment
-operator tells the microcontroller to evaluate whatever value or
-expression is on the right side of the equal sign, and store it in
-the variable to the left of the equal sign [#fgross]_.
-
-
-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
- int sensVal; // declare an integer variable named sensVal
- senVal = analogRead(0); // store the (digitized) input voltage at analog pin 0 in SensVal
-
-

-Programming Tips
-----------------
-
-The variable on the left side of the assignment operator ( = sign )
-needs to be able to hold the value stored in it. If it is not large
-enough to hold a value, the value stored in the variable will be
-incorrect.
-
-Don't confuse the assignment operator [ = ] (single equal sign)
-with the comparison operator [ == ] (double equal signs), which
-evaluates whether two expressions are equal.
-
-
-Arduino Compatibility
----------------------
-
-Assignments on the Maple are identical to those on Arduino.
