More than 2, I think.
Lisp: (setq x y)
Algol: x := y
Smalltalk: x <- y (where <- is a "left arrow" character)

I recommend starting with 3.3 unless your are forced to use 2.x.
I also recommend trying code before posting it.
I'm assuming that y is an object.

That line will give you a syntax error.

y does not refer to the first object anymore after you've assigned the
second object to it. In CPython, if
y = raw_input('Enter a number:')
print type y
y = float(raw_input('Enter a number:'))
print type y
I'm assuming that y is an object. I'm also assuming that the second and the
first y are different objects because they have different types.
The second time we type print type y, how does the progra
