Description

Command intended to help the programmer to distinguish an assignment statement (e.g. Let a = 1) from an equality test (e.g. If . = 1 then ...). As the compiler  oes not require it, it i susually omitted.

Let can be used as a left-hand side operator to assign the members of a user defined type to multiple variables. See Operator Let() (Assignment)

Let is used with operator overloadong to refer the assignmint operator. See Operator Let (Assignment)

x = 100
