Assignment Operators

Question 1

=

Answer 1

Assigns values from the right side operands to the left side.

Ex: “c = a + b” assigns value of ‘a + b’ to ‘c’

Question 2

+=

Answer 2

Add AND

Adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand

Ex: “c += a” is equivalent to “c = c + a”

Question 3

-=

Answer 3

Subtract AND

Subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: “c -= a” is equivalent to “c = c - a”

Question 4

*=

Answer 4

Multiply AND

Multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: “c *= a” is equivalent to “c = c * a”

Question 5

/=

Answer 5

Divide AND

Divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

Ex: “c /= a” is equivalent to “ c = c / a”

Question 6

%=

Answer 6

Modulus AND

Takes modulus using two operands and assigning the result to the left operand

Ex: “c %= a” is equivalent to “c = c % a”

Question 7

**=

Answer 7

Exponent AND

Preforms exponential calculation on operators and assigns the value to the left operand.

Ex: “c **= a” is equivalent to “c = c ** a”

Question 8

//=

Answer 8

Floor Division

Preforms floor division on operators and assigns the value to the left operand.

Ex: “c // a” is equivalent to c = “c // a”
