English Dictionary: equals by the DICT Development Group

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   equals
  
      "=", {ASCII} character 61.
  
      Common names: {ITU-T}: equals; gets; takes.   Rare:
      quadrathorpe; {INTERCAL}: half-mesh.
  
      Equals is used in many languages as the {assignment} operator
      though earlier languages used ":=" ("becomes equal to") to
      avoid upsetting mathematicians with statements such as "x =
      x+1".   It is also used in compounds such as "<=", ">=", "==",
      "/=", "!=" for various comparison operators and in {C}'s "+=",
      "*=" etc. which mimic the {primitive} operations of
      {two-address code}.
