Assignment Operators

Avi Bhattacharya

Assignment operators are used to assign values to a variable and can even perform certain operations during assignment. Given below are the major assignment operators.

Operator	Operation
=	x = x
+= (y)	x = x + y
-= (y)	x = x - y
*= (y)	x = x * y
/= (y)	x = x / y
//= (y)	x= x // y
**= (y)	x = x ** y
%= (y)	x = x % y

    #equal to
    x = 2

    #equals to sum
    x += 18
    print(x)

    #equals to difference
    x= 10
    x -= 4
    print(x)

    #equals to product
    x= 3
    x *= 4
    print(x)

    #equals to quotient
    x = 15
    x /= 4
    print(x)

    #equals to quotient (floor)
    x = 20
    x //= 6
    print(x)

    #equals to value raised to the power
    x= 8
    x **= 3
    print(x)

    #equals to remainder
    x = 14
    x %= 4
    print(x)

                                          

      20
      8
      12
      3.75
      3
      64
      2
