Procedural Programming
The Wolfram Language stands out from traditional computer languages in supporting many programming paradigms. Procedural programming is the only paradigm available in languages like C and Java, as well as most scripting languages. The Wolfram Language supports all standard procedural programming constructs, but often extends them through integration into its more general symbolic programming environment.
x=value (Set ) — set the value for a variable
