when using = you are saying it is equal to something when using == you are asking if it is equal to something

In the notes at the bottom it says that = is assigning, so for example x=10, you have assigned x to be equal to 10. As for ==.. it's comparing, so saying something like x==4 would be false because x=10.

= means we are storing something into a variable or but == is the mathematical equal checking operator. Example- a=1 b=1 a==b

= is an assignment operator where as == is an equivalence operator. using = we can assign or initialise value to a variable. by using == we can check the equality between the values on either sides of the operator , either numeric or string .

= sign is used to declare or assign and == sign is used to compare by checking if a value is equal to another

When using = u are automatically allocating the value to something definite while the == is for comparing

singel(=) means you have assingned a value to a variable while double(==) is used to check if sth is correct. e.g A=5 means you have assigned 5 to variable A and A==5 means you are checking if A=5 or not. I hope it helps you. 😃
