-The distinction between ``=`` versus `=` is important and one area where common math notation and common computer notation diverge. The mathematical ``=`` indicates *equality*, and is often used with equations and also for assignment. Later, when symbolic math is introduced, the `~` symbol will be used to indicate an equation, though this is by convention and not part of base `Julia`. The computer syntax use of `=` is for *assignment* and *re-assignment*. Equality is tested with `==` and identicalness (or egal) with `===`.
