你怎么称呼：=运营商？

Question

I was learning about Go and was wondering if there is a name for the := operator. As in x := 4 .

The best I can come up with is the "spider face" .

Example

Update

The reason I ask is because I'm wondering how you would read the code out loud as in during a pair programming session. It's been brought up that the official name of the operator is the "short variable declaration operator" but this is ironically too long of a name to be used frequently.

How would you read this x := 4 ? So far I have "ex colon equals four" or "ex spider-face four"? Are there any better ideas?

Answer 1

Go编程语言规范调用涉及的声明:= “短变量声明。”因此，运算符将被称为“短变量声明运算符”。

Answer 2

Assign? Or 'is assigned'. Actually, I'd use 'assign' but I have to type at least 30 characters...

Answer 3

What about "declare as"

x := 4

You would say either: "declare ex as four" or "ex declared as four"

If that's written as

var x = 4

It's also correct

Answer 4

This is just off the top of my head, but I'd call it "instantiate". IMHO, assign is not a good choice as it confuses it with the Pascal assignment operator. Assign is also the verb used for the "=" in go and most other computer languages.

"decinit" might work as a short-hand and that has no other meaning that I know of.
