Python: Assignment Operators

Assignment Operators is used to assign values to the variable.

Operator	Description	Syntax
Equal (=)	It assign value of right side of expression to left side operand.	a = b + c
Add AND(+=)	It add right side operand with left side operand and then assign to left operand.	a += b a = a + b
Subtract AND(-=)	It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand.	a -= b a = a - b
Multiply AND(*=)	It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand.	a = b a = a b
Divide AND(/=)	It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand.	a /= b a = a / b
Modulus AND(%=)	It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand.	a %= b a = a % b
Exponent AND(**=)	It performs exponential on operators and assign value to the left operand.	a = b a = a b
Floor Division(//=)	It performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand.	a //= b a = a // b
Bitwise AND(&=)	It performs Bitwise and on operands and assign value to left operand.	a &= b a = a & b
Bitwise xOR(^=)	It performs Bitwise xOR on operands and assign value to left operand.	a ^= b a = a ^ b
Bitwise OR(\|=)	It performs Bitwise OR on operands and assign value to left operand.	a \|= b a = a \| b
Bitwise Right Shift (>>=)	It performs Bitwise right shift on operands and assign value to left operand.	a >>= b . a = a >> b
Bitwise Left Shift(<<=)	It performs Bitwise left shift on operands and assign value to left operand.	a <<= b a= a << b

Example:

a = 4
b = 3

d = e = f = 0
g = h = i = j = 2
k = l = m = n = o = 3

c = a + b
print("c = ",c)

d += a
print("d = ",d)

e -= b
print("e = ",d)

f *= a
print("f = ",f)

g /= b
print("g = ",g)

h %= b 
print("h = ",h)

i **= a
print("i = ",i)

j //= a 
print("j = ",j)

k &= b
print("k = ",k)

l ^= b 
print("l = ",l)

m |= b
print("m = ",m)

n >>= b
print("n = ",n)

o <<= a
print("o = ",o)

Output:

c =  7
d =  4
e =  4
f =  0
g =  0.6666666666666666
h =  2
i =  16
j =  0
k =  3
l =  0
m =  3
n =  0
o =  48
