Assignment operators in Java are used to assign values to variables. They help in updating variables by performing operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus along with assignment.
Assignment Operators
Common assignment operators are:
= : Assigns the value on the right to the variable on the left.
+= : Adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
-= : Subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
*= : Multiplies the left operand by the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
/= : Divides the left operand by the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
%= : Takes the modulus of the left operand by the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
Syntax Example:
int num = 10; // = operator
num += 5; // num = num + 5
num -= 2; // num = num - 2
num *= 3; // num = num * 3
num /= 4; // num = num / 4
num %= 2; // num = num % 2
Program
INPUT
public class AssignmentOperatorsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Assign a value
int num = 10;
System.out.println("Initial Value: " + num);
// Using += operator
num += 5;
System.out.println("After += 5: " + num);
// Using -= operator
num -= 2;
System.out.println("After -= 2: " + num);
// Using *= operator
num *= 3;
System.out.println("After *= 3: " + num);
// Using /= operator
num /= 4;
System.out.println("After /= 4: " + num);
// Using %= operator
num %= 2;
System.out.println("After %= 2: " + num);
}
}
