Paul,
--> means "results after evaluation in". For example: 1+3 --> 4.

Instead of "-->" we could *not* use "=" (equals, because this is a logical operator) or ":=" (assignment, becuase of obvious reasons).

drago
P.S: I made a typo [as I always do :-( ... ] and forgot the operator SUM in my second example:
>>>y = 1+x --> 1+x
>>>y - x --> 1
>>>
>>>z = SUM (1,1,x) --> 2 + x
>>>z - x -->2
