_Added in 1.8.8_

*/var [-gnspB] <%var> [[= ]value]*

Sets the value of local variable %var to the specified value.

Syntax can be either _var %var = value_ or _var %var value_.

Multiple variables can be set in one line using comma as separator, _var %var1 = value, %var2 = value2_.

_See also [[/set]], [[/unset]], [[/inc]], [[/dec]], [[$var]]._

*Switches*

-s - Display variable assignment value.

-g - Creates a global variable instead.

-n - Treat the value as plain text, even if arithmetic operators are used.

-i - Initializes a variable only if it does not already exist as a local or global variable.

-p - Permits value to be 2 literal double quotes and permits value to end with a single [[$chr]](32) space. Also enables -n switch behavior.

-B - Performs a [[$calcint]] calculation instead of regular [[$calc]] when arithmetic operators are used. *(AdiIRC only)*

*Parameters*

<%var> - The variable to set.

[[= ]value] - Value to set the variable to. (can be a single [[Arithmetic Operators|arithmetic expression]])

*Example*

<pre>

alias factorial {

  var %result = 1, %x = $1

  while (%x) {

    var %result = %result * $v1

    dec %x

  }

  return %result

}

;Returns 3628800

//echo -ag $factorial(10)
