hello,
I can assign a value to more than 1 variable (name) in one line:
a = b = 3
So evaluation of this line must start at the right part.
But the following is not allowed:
b = 2
a = b += 1
I would think that if b has a value, and the formula is evaluated
from right to left, there's nothing wrong with the above formula.
Assignment is a statement, not an expression. That's why:
if a = 0:
...
is illegal.
However, simple serial assignment such as:
a = b = 3
is useful enough to be supported as a special case.
