a = b
This assigns the value to b. So if b was 4, now a is also 4.
Steven means 'assigns the value to a' here. For anyone looking down the
line...

You have overwitten a
b = a + b
and
a,b = b, a+ b
This one evaluates the right side first, then assigns the result to a and b

This does exactly what it says.
It first makes a and b identical then makes b equal
their sum, that is, b+b
and
a,b = b, a+ b
The second form is not always available in

Retrieves the value referenced by ‘b’, then binds the name ‘a’ to the
value.
b = a + b
Evaluates the expression ‘a + b’, then binds the name ‘b’ to the result.
and
a,b = b, a+ b

Try to evaluate the code in your head, as if you were the Python
interpreter. Starting with the first version:
a = b
This
