int x = 10;

A list of all assignment operators:
Operator Example Same As Try it
= x=5 x=5 Try it »
+= x += 3 x=x+3 Try it »
-= x -= 3 x=x-3 Try it »
*= x *= 3 x=x*3 Try it »
/= x /= 3 x=x/3 Try it »
%= x %= 3 x=x%3 Try it »
&= x &= 3 x=x&3 Try it »
|= x |= 3 x=x|3 Try it »
^= x ^= 3 x=x^3 Try it »
>>= x >>= 3 x = x >> 3 Try it »
<<= x <<= 3 x = x << 3 Try it »
Note: Most assignment operators are just shorter ways of writing code. For example, x += 5
is the same as x = x + 5 , but shorter and often easier to read.

Real-Life Example: Tracking Savings
Assignment operators can also be used in real-life scenarios. For example, you can use the +=
operator to keep track of savings when you add money to an account:
Example
int savings = 100;
savings += 50; // add 50 to savings
[Link]("Total savings: " + savings);
