And then go ahead and print x. And when I build and run this, you'll notice well, we have our initial values of 5 and 47. So we have x equals 5 and x equals 47. And then we assign y to x using the assignment operator, and we have x equals 47. The assignment operator's also called the copy operator. And in this case, it copies the value from y into x.

And we'll get 42. And we have…
