year <- 2020
2020 -> year

However, -> is rarely used because it reduces code readability.

  1. Use the equal sign (=) to assign the result of 29 %/% 8 to the variable named equal.
  2. Use the left arrow (<-) to assign the result of 29 %% 8 to the variable named left.
  3. Use the right arrow (->) to assign the result of equal ^ left to the variable named right.
