Question
What are the assignment operators that can be used in Python?
Solution
Assignment operators:
In Python, = is a simple assignment operator to assign values to variables. Let a = 5 and b = 10 assign the value 5 to a and 10 to b this two assignment statements can also be given as a, b = 5, 10 that assigns the value 5 and 10 on the right to the variables a and b respectively. There are various compound operators in Python like + =, – =,* =, / = % =,** = and //= are also available.
| Operator | Description | Example |
| Assume x=10 | ||
| = | Assigns right side operands to left variable | >>> x=10 >>> b= "Computer" |
| += | Added and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=30 | >>> x+=20 # x=x+20 |
| -= | Subtracted and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=25 | >>> x-=5 # x=x-5 |
| * = | Multiplied and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=125 | >>> x*=5 # x=x*5 |
| /= | Divided and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=62.5 | >>> x/=2 # x=x/2 |
| %= | Taken modulus(Remainder) using two operands and assign the result to left operand i.e. x=2.5 | >>> x%=3#x=x%3 |
| **= | Performed exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand i.e. x=6.25 | >>> x**=2#x=x**2 |
| //= | Performed floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand i.e. x=2.0 | >>> x//=3 |
