Need help with Scripting diff command

Here is where I am at so far.....
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter the output file name"
read output_file
echo "Enter the Orginal file Name"
read write_file
d= ' diff $write_file $output_file '
if $d = 1 ;then
echo "files are not identical"
else
echo "they areidential"
fi
-------------------

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and I am new at this
so it could be something small..
