*/var [-sg] <%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 seperator, var %var1 - value, var%2 = value2

*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.

*Parameters*

<%var> - The variable to set.
[[= ]value] - Value to set the variable to. (can be a single arithmetic expression, see [[Arithmetic Operators]])

*Example*

<pre>
alias factorial {
  var %result = 1, %x = $1
  while (%x) {
    var %result = %result * $v1
    dec %x
  }
  return %result
}
