Assignment Statements

Assignment statements have the following form:

lvalue := expression

where lvalue is either

• An output field

• A property of a field variable

• A local variable

• A state variable

  • The assignment statement sets lvalue to the value of the expression.

  • If lvalue is not the name of an output field or state variable it is assumed that lvalue refers to a local variable.

  • The assignment statement is the only way to introduce new local variables.

Example

temp := input1

x := ln( input2 )

output2 := x

Return to top
