1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: equals"=", {ASCII} character 61. Common names: {ITU-T}: equals; gets; takes Rare: quadrathorpe {INTERCAL}: half-mesh. Equals is used in many languages as the {assignment} operator though earlier languages used ":=" ("becomes equal to") to avoid upsetting mathematicians with statements such as "x = x+1". It is also used in compounds such as "<=", ">=", "==", "/=", "!=" for various comparison operators and in {C}'s "+=", "*=" etc which mimic the {primitive} operations of {two-address code}.
