Let me assign you a task to learn something more and get closer to your goal of learning c++ as much as possible. For this task, the topic would be Assignment operators. The assignment itself means giving a task to someone. So let’s start with the Assignment Operators and win it over.
What is an Assignment Operator?
An assignment operator is nothing but a way through which we can provide a value or assign a value to a variable. And the way we symbolize it is by using an equal to( = ) sign. The variable on the left side of this operator stores the value given on the right side of the assignment operator.
Types of Assignment operators.
We have about 11 different assignment operators to help us:
Assuming the value of variable a is 10.
| Operators | Example | Same as | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| = | a=10 | a=10 | 10 |
| += | a+=2 | a=a+2 | 12 |
| -= | a-=2 | a=a-2 | 10 |
| *= | a*=2 | a=a*2 | 20 |
| /= | a/=2 | a=a/2 | 5 |
| %= | a%=2 | a=a%2 | 0 (returns remainder) |
| &= | a&=2 | a=a&2 | 2 |
| |= | a|=2 | a=a|2 | 10 |
| ^= | a^=2 | a=a^2 | 8 |
| >>= | a>>=2 | a=a>>2 | 2 |
| <<= | a<<=2 | a=a<<2 | 40 |
CONCLUSION
In this blog, we’ve learned about another category of Operators known as Assignment Operators and have taken another step in our journey of learning C++ programming. We got to know what they exactly are and how they make assigning a value to a variable easy—hoping to learn many more related topics shortly.
