= -- Performs a simple assignment.

## Syntax

ar = xarg

ir = iarg

kr = karg

## Description

Performs a simple assignment.

## Initialization

= (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.

## Examples

Here is an example of the assign opcode. It uses the files assign.orc and assign.sco.

Example 1. Example of the assign opcode.

    /* assign.orc */
    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      ; Assign a value to the variable i1.
      i1 = 1234

      ; Print the value of the i1 variable.
      print i1
    endin
    /* assign.orc */

    /* assign.sco */
    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
    i 1 0 1
    e
    /* assign.sco */

Its output should include a line like this:

    instr 1:  i1 = 1234.000
