SetAttributes[assign, HoldFirst];

assign[x_, expr_] := 
  (Clear[x]; ToString[x] <> " = " <> ToString[TraditionalForm[x = expr]]);

assign[a, 10^2]

a = 100

You cannot use Out to reference the value.

Head[%]

String

But the variableis is set and can be used.

a

100

=============
Is it possible to show the name of the variables in the output cell?
For example, currently I have
[In1] a=10^2
[Out1] 100

I want it to be
[Out1] a=100

The reason for this is when we have multiple lines of calculation in
an input cell,
sometimes it is hard to recognize which number is which,
especially when the input cell has several pages and the calculations
are scattered in the cell.
