4.2 - Assignment Operators
assignment operators
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| = | Equals: Assigns a value | x = y |
| += | Plus Equals: Assigns the original value plus the new value | x += y // x = x + y |
| -= | Minus Equals: Assigns the original value minus the new value | x -= y // x = x - y |
| *= | Multiply Equals: Assigns the original value times the new value | x *= y // x = x * y |
| /= | Divide Equals: Assigns the original value divided by the new value | x /= y // x = x / y |
| %= | Modulo Equals: Assigns the original value modulo the new value | x %= y // x = x % y |
| ++ | Increases the variable by 1 | x++ |
| -- | Decreases the variable by 1 | x-- |
code examples
x = 10;
x += 3; // shorthand for x = x + 3
console.log(x); // should output 13 since 10 + 3 = 13
x = 10;
x /= 5; // shorthand for x = x ÷ 5
console.log(x); // outputs 2, since 10 ÷ 5 = 2
x = 10;
x++;
console.log(x); // outputs 11, since 10 + 1 = 11
assignment operators
- With your existing number variables, apply some assignment operators to them.
console.log()the output of your variables after applying these operators!
