Assignment Operators
The assignment operators are used to assign the value of the right expression to the left operand.
The assignment operators are described in the following table:
Operator Name Description Example
= Assignment It assigns the value of operand on the right side to the x = 5
left side operand.
+= Addition It adds right operand to the left operand and assigns x += 3
assignment the result to left operand. x+=3 is equivalent to x=x+3.
–= Subtraction It subtracts right operand from the left operand and x –= 3
assignment assigns the result to left operand. x–=3 is equivalent to
x=x–3.
*= Multiplication It multiplies right operand with the left operand and x *= 3
assignment assigns the result to left operand. x*=3 is equivalent to
x=x*3.
/= Division It divides left operand with the right operand and x /= 3
assignment assigns the result to left operand. x/=3 is equivalent to
x=x/3.
%= Remainder It takes modulus of two operands and assigns the x %= 3
assignment result to left operand. x%=3 is equivalent to x=x%3.
//= Floor division It performs floor division on operators and assigns the x //= 3
assignment value to the left operand. x//=3 is equivalent to x=x//3.
**= Exponentiation It performs exponential (power) calculation on x **= 3
assignment operators and assigns the value to the left operand.
x**=3 is equivalent to x=x**3.
