Assignment Operator

Basic Assignment

int32:x = 42;            // typed declaration with assignment
x = 100;                  // reassignment

Discard Assignment

_ = some_function();      // discard Result — acknowledges unused return

This is one way to handle nodiscard Results. See also drop and raw.

Compound Assignment

See arithmetic.md for +=, -=, *=, /=, %=. See bitwise.md for <<=, >>=.

Fixed Values

fixed int32:MAX = 100;    // Nitpick's const (use 'fixed', not 'const')

const is reserved for extern blocks. Use fixed for Nitpick constants.

Note: fixed is specified in the language but has limited compiler test coverage. Compute in a variable first, then assign to fixed if needed.
