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 the operand on the right side to the left x = 5
side operand.
+= Addition It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the x += 3
assignment result to the left operand. x+=3 is equivalent to x=x+3.
–= Subtraction It subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns x –= 3
assignment the result to the left operand. x–=3 is equivalent to x=x–3.
*= Multiplication It multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns x *= 3
assignment the result to the left operand. x*=3 is equivalent to x=x*3.
/= Division It divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns x /= 3
assignment the result to the left operand. x/=3 is equivalent to x=x/3.
%= Remainder It takes the modulus of two operands and assigns the result x %= 3
assignment to the left operand. x%=3 is equivalent to x=x%3.
//= Floor division It performs floor division on operators and assigns the value x //= 3
assignment to the left operand. x//=3 is equivalent to x=x//3.
**= Exponentiation It performs exponential (power) calculations on operators x **= 3
assignment and assigns the value to the left operand. x**=3 is equivalent
to x=x**3.
