error variable a - basic

Why it gives me error when I type >> a= instead of giving me the following result >> a =

1

Before doing this, I had already type the following >>a=1

Don't type

a =

Just type

a

in command window.

For example,

>> a = 1;
>> a
a =
     1

Hi,

I didn't type it on my command window, just typed it here in the question.
