    Assignment Operators

                     Assignment  operators are  used  to  assign  values  to  operands.  One  of  the  most commonly  used
                     assignment operators is equal (=). This operator can also be used with arithmetic operators to make
                     the shorthand assignment operators. The shorthand assignment operators perform calculations and
                     assign the result to the variable present on the left hand side of the operator.

                                                                                                    Example
                      Operator                       Description                       Syntax                      Output
                                                                                                 (int a = 10, b = 2)
                                  Returns the  result to the  operand  present  on                    a += b        a = 12
                         +=       the left hand side after performing the addition      a += b
                                  operation.                                                          a += 5        a = 15
                                  Returns the result to the operand present on the                    a -= b         a = 8
                          -=      left hand side after performing the subtraction       a -= b
                                  operation.                                                          a -= 5         a = 5
                                  Returns the result to the operand present on the                    a *= b        a = 20
                         *=       left hand side after performing the multiplication   a *= b
                                  operation.                                                          a *= 5        a = 50

                                  Returns the  result to the  operand  present  on                    a /= b         a = 5
                          /=      the  left  hand  side  after performing  the  division   a /= b
                                  operation.                                                          a /= 5         a = 2

                                  Returns  the  remainder to  the  operator present                  a %= b          a = 0
                         %=       on the left hand side after performing the division   a %= b
                                  operation.                                                         a %= 6          a = 4
