Assignment and equality

When looking at someone's wealth, a distinction between cash and non-cash securities is important. Savings and checking accounts are cash securities. Stock positions are non-cash. Imagine that as part of balancing a client's wealth portfolio, you are asked to compare their cash and non-cash securities. The variable non_cash is provided with the value of the non-cash securities.
