## Description

The = \[Equal] character is used when assigning a value to an object setting.

Many objects have different settings and these settings can be set using the setting name followed by the equal sign and then the desired value.

It is used in conjunction with the [Set keyword](/grandma3/2-4/keyword_set/).
