This is an example of a computer routine, possibly also of the
description of a mathematical algorithm, but it is not mathematical
text, and, therefore, I see it as out of the range of mathematical
markup.
In the context of mathematical markup I previously described the
symbol := as being for _definition_ rather than for _declaration_.
