Method Call and Assignment

An assignment statement is the assignment of the value of an expression to an element. In case of an assignment to a complex element, only an element of the same type can be assigned. The assignment is then not the assignment of a value but of a reference.

A special case is that of assigning a value to the return value of a method. The associated sequence call must be the last sequence call of that method.

An assignment is a special case of a method call. When calling a method in a block diagram, the corresponding sequence call has to be filled in properly and the arguments to the method have to be supplied.
