What is the difference between the following statements?
a=10 and a==10

a= 10 ( assignment operator)

means the variable (a) is assigned a value which is equal to 10 (int)

a==10 ( equality operator)

means that a is equal to 10.

In the statement a=10, the variable a is assigned value 10,

however in the statement a==10, the value of a is equated with 10.
