== The assignment operator == In [[awk]], as with most other programming languages, the *equals sign* acts as a [[dyadic]] *assignment [[operator]]* assigning the value of the [[expression]] of the right hand [[operand]] to the [[variable]] named by the left [[operand]]: == Assignment of variables == The following examples show the use of the equals sign for the assignment of [[variable]]s: {{{ fruit = "apple" # assign a string to a variable count = 5 # assign a numeric value to a variable }}} == Multiple assignments == The [[awk]] language supports multiple assignments as follows: {{{ x = y = z = 3 }}}
