Assignment Operations

Basic Assignment

• Simple Assignment (=): Assigns a value to a variable.

  x = 10
  

Compound Assignment Operators

1. Addition (+=): Adds and assigns.

   x = 5
   x += 3  # x = x + 3
   

2. Subtraction (-=): Subtracts and assigns.

   x = 10
   x -= 4  # x = x - 4
   

3. Multiplication (*=): Multiplies and assigns.

   x = 7
   x *= 2  # x = x * 2
   

4. Division (/=): Divides and assigns.

   x = 20
   x /= 4  # x = x / 4
   

5. Floor Division (//=): Floor divides and assigns.

   x = 17
   x //= 3  # x = x // 3
   

6. Modulus (%=): Applies modulus and assigns.

   x = 14
   x %= 5  # x = x % 5
   

7. Exponentiation (**=): Exponentiates and assigns.

   x = 2
   x **= 3  # x = x ** 3
   

8. Bitwise Operations:

   • AND (&=): Applies bitwise AND.
   • OR (|=): Applies bitwise OR.
   • XOR (^=): Applies bitwise XOR.
   • Left Shift (<<=): Shifts bits left.
   • Right Shift (>>=): Shifts bits right.

   x = 8
   x &= 3  # x = x & 3
   

Conclusion

Assignment operations simplify updating variables through arithmetic, bitwise, and compound operations, improving code conciseness and readability.
