'=' is the most commonly used assignment operator. An assignment operator is used for assigning a value to a variable. So n=1 means variable n is assigned with value 1. whereas '==' means an equal to operator which is a relational operator. A relational operator checks the relationship between two operands. If the relation is true, it returns 1; if the relation is false, it returns value 0. Relational operators are used in decision making and loops. So n==1 means it's checked whether the variable n holds the value 1. read less

1. n=1 means assigning 1 to n. 2. n==1 means comparing n with 1. Eg: if(n==1) n value is 1 condition is true and if condition is also true condition will execute i.e output is 1. n value is other than 1 if conidition is false condition will not work. i.e. output is 0.

n=1 means. you are assigning value 1 to n. value 1 is stored in variable n. = is an assignment operator where as n==1 means you are checking for equality. It checks whether value of n equls to 1. == is relational operator

We can also check the values stored in two variables are equal or not like (a=b=1;) to check is both a and b has same value or not we can use ( a==b ) if both are equal value it returns True else False we can use this == operator morly with IF condition read less
