The equals symbol (=) is commonly used for assignment. It's used to assign a value to a variable. The variable name is written on the left of the equals symbol, and the value you want to store in the variable is on the right.
For example, name = "Sophie"; assigns the string "Sophie" to the variable name.
To assign a value in programming means to give a specific value to a variable. The equals symbol (=) is commonly used for this purpose. When you assign a value to a variable, you are telling the program to remember that value for use later.
For example, age = 25 assigns the value 25 to the variable age.
