Python – Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

Assign (=): Assigns the right-hand operand to the left-hand operand.

c = 10
print(c)  # Output: 10

Add and Assign (+=): Adds right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

c += 5  # Equivalent to c = c + 5
print(c)  # Output: 15

Subtract and Assign (-=): Subtracts right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

c -= 3  # Equivalent to c = c - 3
print(c)  # Output: 12

Multiply and Assign (*=): Multiplies left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

c *= 2  # Equivalent to c = c * 2
print(c)  # Output: 24

Divide and Assign (/=): Divides left operand by the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

c /= 4  # Equivalent to c = c / 4
print(c)  # Output: 6.0

Modulus and Assign (%=): Takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.

c %= 5  # Equivalent to c = c % 5
print(c)  # Output: 1.0
