Assignment Operators

An Assignment operator is used to form an assignment expression, which assigns the value to an identifier. The most commonly used assignment operator is =. Assignment expressions that make use of this operator are written in the form:
Identifier = expression;
Example:
i = 100;
j = 200;

Other forms of assignment operator exist that are obtaining various operators such as +, -, *, /, %, etc., with the = sign.

Operator Equation Output
+= i = i + 1 i += 1
-= i = i - 10 i -= 10
*= i = i * 11 i *= 11
/= i = i / 12 i /= 12
%= i = i % 5 i %= 5
