Pythonists I am trying to understand the difference between a = b b = a + 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 programming languages so R may not support it directly.
The more general version would be: temp = a a = b b = temp + b
Like to understand the second code sequence better so I can write the code in R and Scilab as well as python.
