If you don't know anything about programming then it is ok to assume a = b as a comparison, so the answer is False?, or that a can be assigned to b? left to right? right to left? who knows? how about assigning just adds the new value to the existing one and removes the assigned value? so a=30 and b=0? What's this int about, interrupt? interfere, interrogate?

This is just retarded. Tell me the rules first so I can infer on right premises.



Well, part of what he said in the article was that it was more important that the student can create a consistent mental model. So even if you have no idea what the '=' means, you can infer a possible meaning from the answers and use that every time you see it (on that test).
