Module 4: Operators

Assignment Operators

INTERACTIVE CHEAT SHEET

The Concept

Assignment operators store or update values in variables. The basic assignment operator (=) binds a value to a name, while compound assignment operators like +=, -=, *=, /=, //=, %=, and **= perform an arithmetic operation and reassign the result in one step. For example, x += 5 is shorthand for x = x + 5. These operators make your code shorter and more readable.

Key Points

= assigns a value to a variable: x = 10.
+= adds and reassigns: x += 3 means x = x + 3.
-= subtracts and reassigns: x -= 2 means x = x - 2.
*= multiplies and reassigns: x *= 4 means x = x * 4.
/= divides and reassigns (result is float): x /= 2 means x = x / 2.
//= floor-divides and reassigns: x //= 3 means x = x // 3.
%= gives remainder and reassigns: x %= 3 means x = x % 3.
**= raises to power and reassigns: x **= 2 means x = x ** 2.
