= — Performs a simple assignment.
ares = xarg
ires = iarg
kres = karg
ires, ... = iarg, ...
kres, ... = karg, ...
table [ kval] = karg
= (simple assignment) - Put the value of the expression iarg (karg, xarg) into the named result. This provides a means of saving an evaluated result for later use.
From version 5.13 onwards the i- and k-rate versions of assignment can take a number of outputs, and an equal or less number of inputs. If there are less the last value is repeated as necessary.
From version 5.14 values can be assigned to elements of a vector with the square bracket form.
Here is an example of the assign opcode. It uses the file assign.csd.
