That just happens to be that way on the C implementation
that you are using right now.

There's no rule in C which specifies how
   a = 3;
must be translated.

   a = 3;
only means that after the statement is executed,
that (a) will have a value of 3.

If the statement were
   a = 0;
instead, then it might be translated as a (clear) 
instruction, rather than as a (mov) instuction.
