the terminology for a variable assignment in pseudo code is a left facing arrow (<-). eg max <- i , meaning the value of i is assigning to the variable named max

Can I also use an = sign to show it in the same way?

Pseudocode has no fixed rules, that's why it's called 'pseudo'. You can use any style, as long as it helps you or others getting a better grasp of what you're going to do.

You mean, which variable names to choose in your pseudocode? Well... as I said there are no rules (otherwise it would be called 'code' without the 'pseudo'). You can use what makes most sense to *you*.
