 When using the '':='' assignment operator, beware of the following syntactic annoyance: the expression ''a := 1'' denotes an assignment to the variable ''a'', while ''a:= 1'' is misunderstood by the parser as ''a: = 1'', which is the invocation of a keyworded message named ''a:''. Keyworded message sends will be explained later on in this chapter. Hence, as a general rule, don't forget to always put a space between the variable name and the '':='' operator.

+AmbientTalk has no ''return'' statement. To achieve a similar jump in the control flow, see the section on [[:modular#escaping_continuations||escaping continuations]].
