If you precede your input with the orange boxed "=" symbol, your input will be "interpreted" by Wolfram|Alpha. If you mean your input as regular Wolfram Language, do not type "=" at the beginning of the line.

That was the first thing I tried, but when I just type (for instance) x = 4 without using the symbol '=' then I don't get the typical

in[3]:= x = 4

out

I assume you mean this: enter image description here

but Mathematica does not remember the values this way? I know its a really silly question but its just some kind of setting that I do not know, since I always used '=' beforehand.
