Hi,

with SET you just can assign a value, with LET you can make a calculation and assign the outupt.

SET varS=1+1;     // varS = '1+1'

LET varL=1+1;     // varL = 2

Hi

SET simply assigns what is after the equal to operator whereas let evaluates what is after the equal to operator.

Example:

2*2

Using SET the result will be 2*2

Using LET the result will be 4

Thanks
