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.
