¿Sí? De todos modos no pillo el chiste, David.
Poli, a mi me suena que en un hilo hace tiempo, ya estuvimos hablando de ésto. Yo creo que, como dice Sosia, aquí en España de pronto quiere decir suddenly.
Me apatece usar this guy, porque es superchulo y cómo de momento no me pega en ninguna frase, ahí va:

No me acuerdo si Sosia ha dicho que es programador o ingeniero, pero una persona normal usaría un = para decire equivale mientras un programador usaría dos ==.

La razón por esto es porque en muchos lenguajes de programación (¿dónde está el hilo de lengua/idioma? Aquí hay otro uso para "lenguaje".) se usa = para asignar un valor y == para ver si dos valores son iguales:

// x recibe el valor de 5.
x = 5;

// quieres ver si x equivale a 5
x == 5

No sé si me expliqué o me enredé...

The word (De pronto) is for to say something that has happened very faster.

For example I give you an examples of the use in the word De pronto.

Anahi paso de pronto por la casa y me trajo unos regalos.

Que paso!!!! No lo se de pronto llego el perro y me mordio.

Todo pasa de pronto por nuestra vida.

These ways of use the word de pronto in my known language.

@ mari Jose
Es un detalle de programador (o de ingeniero, soy las dos cosas)
X=5 ( X es igual a 5 en este momento, luego puedo decir X=3)
X==5 (X siempre es cinco)
es más o menos así. Es un detalle que no me di cuenta cuando lo escribí, pero David lo pilló enseguida.
Saludos
