Assignment statements

An assignment statement assigns a value to a variable. The order for the assignment statements when read left to right is the destination variable first, then the assignment operator, then the expression. It usually consists of three elements:

  • An assignment operator (typically an =).
  • An expression to be assigned.
  • A destination variable.

On execution, Service Manager evaluates the expression and stores the resulting value in the variable.
