Talk:becomes

RFV discussion: June–July 2019
"(computing) The two-character symbol sequence " := " used in some programming languages to mean is assigned the value of. Used to distinguish between assignment of value and comparison for equality." Apparently this is trying to say that := may be pronounced "becomes" when reading code out loud. But defining a verb inflection as "a two-character symbol sequence" is a different kettle of fish. Equinox ◑ 11:26, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Doesn't " := " merit an "unsupported titles" entry? DCDuring (talk) 14:05, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * We don't generally include programming operators or keywords. The APL symbols got deleted, for example. Equinox ◑ 19:44, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Some mathematical authors use “:=” as a symbol for “is defined as”, in the same way as others use “=def” or “ ≜ ”. --Lambiam 02:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * We have a "programming" definition at :/Unsupported titles/Double colon, among others. See Category:Unsupported titles. DCDuring (talk) 11:04, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

 * BTW: See Unsupported titles/Colon equals, which does not contain "becomes" as a definition. DCDuring (talk) 22:43, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
