Answer
Reassignment updates a variable's value, whereas recalculation derives a new value.
Reassigning a variable means giving it a new value directly, while recalculating means computing a new value potentially based on the old one. In an e-commerce checkout, you might reassign a 'discount' variable to a fixed value, or recalculate it based on cart size.
