Let Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Assigns the value of an expression to a variable.


 Syntax



  LET  variable= expression


 Remarks


 Notice that the keyword  LET is optional. The equal sign in the statement is
 enough to inform BASIC that the statement is an assignment statement.

 The  LET statement uses the following arguments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Argument                                Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  variable                               A variable.

  expression                             An expression that provides the
                                         value to assign to the variable.





  LET statements can be used with record variables only when both variables
 are the same user-defined type. Use the  LSET statement to assign record
 variables of different user-defined types.

 Examples

 The first example below shows the use of the optional  LET keyword.

 LET D = 12

 LET E = 12 - 2

 LET F = 12 - 4

 LET SUM = D + E + F

 PRINT D E F SUM



 The following program lines perform the same function, without using the
 LET keyword.

 D = 12

 E = 12 - 2

 F = 12 - 4

 SUM = D + E + F

 PRINT D E F SUM



 Output

 12 10 8 30
