end operator

Command intended to help the programmer to distinguish an assignment statement (e.g. Let a = 1) from an equality test (e.g. If a = 1 then ...). As the compiler does not require it, it is usually omitted.

Let can be used as a left-hand side operator to assign the members of a user defined type to multiple variables. See Operator Let() (Assignment)

Let is used with operator overloading to refer the assignment operator. See Operator Let (Assignment)
