Assignment Operators in Python

Assignment Operators in Python

Assignment Operator combines the effect of arithmetic and assignment operator

Symbol Description Example
= Assigned values from right side operands to left variable

>>>x=12*

>>>y="greetings"

+= added and assign back the result to left operand >>>x+=2
-= subtracted and assign back the result to left operand x-=2
*= multiplied and assign back the result to left operand x*=2
/= divided and assign back the result to left operand x/=2
%= taken modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand x%=2
**= performed exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand x**=2
//= performed floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand x / /= 2

Example: To test Assignment Operators:

#Demo Program to test Assignment Operators
	x=int (input("Type a Value for X : "))
	print ("X = ",x)
	print ("The x is =",x)
	x+=20
	print ("The x += 20 is =",x)
	x-=5
	print ("The x -= 5 is = ",x)
	x*=5
	print ("The x *= 5 is = ",x)
	x/=2
	print ("The x /= 2 is = ",x)
	x%=3
	print ("The x %= 3 is = ",x)
	x**=2
	print ("The x **= 2 is = ",x)
	x//=3
	print ("The x //= 3 is = ",x)
#Program End

Output:

Type a Value for X : 10

X = 10

The x is = 10

The x += 20 is = 30

The x -= 5 is = 25

The x *= 5 is = 125

The x /= 2 is = 62.5

The x %= 3 is = 2.5

The x **= 2 is = 6.25

The x //= 3 is = 2.0
