I see assignment use = and some times :=

What is the difference between the two.

program new;

var
NumHerbToClean:Integer;

begin

NumHerbToClean := 28;

if NumHerbToClean == 28 then
begin
  Writeln('I want stone');
end;


end.     

I made a simple script. But is not working. The error is on line

if NumHerbToClean == 28 then      

How do i check value of variable ?

We use = as an equel sign.

if a = b then
  writeln('a equals b');

we use := to set a variable.

a := 2;
b := a;

This may be wrong but := stands for an integer, = means If it is "ThisSTring" then blahblah…
This:

if NumHerbToClean == 28 then

Should be This:

if NumHerbToClean = 28 then

E: Ninja'd
E#2: Oh and this should be Here

A plain = can be used for an integer as well, as long as it has already been set with a := earlier in the script.

Also = is used to set constants.

So

const
  ThisConstant = 28;

Thanks everyone for the help.

@John first i was thinking to ask on SRL Help. But this is general programing help, so posted here.

I googled, found

At the end of the page, it lists operators.

Simba don't use exact pascal operators ?

That last table is wrong. In the rest of that article they are talking about =. Also the language you are writing in simba is pascalscript not pascal, but yeah, we do use the pascal operators.
