Is = now the same as <- in assigning values
In most cases <- and = are the same yet its not always true so its safest to use <- for assignment. Check this out: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/06/12940.html

I?m a PhD student at the University of Warsaw, and have started using R. In many books they specify to use <- instead of = when assigning values, and this is also mentioned in older posts on the R website. However, it seams to me that some update has occured, becuase I continously get the same result wether I use <- or =. I would be extremely helpful for any answer to this. = seams more intuitive, so I assumed that an update had been made due to popular demand and that was why I get the same output wether I use <- or =.
