equal - (=) assignment , comparison, equal sign

### Description

  Assignment:The equal sign `=` is used to denote the assignment of value(s) to variable(s). The syntax can be :
    `a=expr` where `a` is a variable name and `expr` a scilab expression which evaluates to a single result.
    `[a,b,...]=expr` where `a`,`b`,`...` are variable names and `expr` a scilab expression which results in as many results as given variable names.
  Comparison:The equal sign `=` is also used in the comparison operators:
    `a==b`, denotes equality comparison between the values of the expressions `a` and `b`.
    `a~=b`, denotes inequality comparison between the values of the expressions `a` and `b`:
    `a<=b` and `a>=b` denotes ordering comparison between the values of the expressions `a` and `b`:
  See `comparison` for semantic details.

### Examples

        a = sin(3.2)
        M = [2.1,3.3,8.5;7.6,6.7,6.9;0,6.3,8.8];
        [u,s] = schur(M)
        [1:10] == 4
        1~=2
