Question

Is x = a + b an equality statement or an assignment statement or something else?

Answer 1

It is an assignment statement. This is answered in the book in pages 84-86.

Although we have not gotten to them yet, I believe an equality statement would be something like x == a + b (two equals signs) and it would actually check to see if the variable x equals a + b for something like a true/false statement.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It is an Assignment statement
