ok, so '=' is used for comparison; its used in 'if' statements; while ':=' is used for assignment, where you assign values to variables. for example,
however, the turing compiler will accept '=' in place of ':=', meaning that
unfortunately, the reverse is not true.
will not compile |

Don't get this confused with other languages. Java, C and Python (that I know for sure) use = for assignment, and use == for comparisons. |

In pascal and delphi " := "- used for assigning value |
