C++ Assignment Operators - Cyborg Coding

C++ includes several assignment operators that can be used to assign a value to a variable or to perform an operation on a variable and then assign the result to the variable. The most commonly used assignment operators in C++ are:

Basic assignment (=): This operator is used to assign a value to a variable.

Addition assignment (+=): This operator is used to add a value to a variable and then assign the result to the variable.

Subtraction assignment (-=): This operator is used to subtract a value from a variable and then assign the result to the variable.

Multiplication assignment (*=): This operator is used to multiply a variable by a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Division assignment (/=): This operator is used to divide a variable by a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Modulus assignment (%=): This operator is used to calculate the remainder of dividing a variable by a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Left shift assignment (<<=): This operator is used to shift the bits of a variable to the left by a specified number of positions and then assign the result to the variable.

Right shift assignment (>>=): This operator is used to shift the bits of a variable to the right by a specified number of positions and then assign the result to the variable.

Bitwise AND assignment (&=): This operator is used to perform a bit-level AND operation on a variable and a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Bitwise OR assignment (|=): This operator is used to perform a bit-level OR operation on a variable and a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Bitwise XOR assignment (^=): This operator is used to perform a bit-level XOR operation on a variable and a value and then assign the result to the variable.

Here's an example of how these operators can be used:

int x = 5;

int y = 2;

x += y; // x is now 7

x -= y; // x is now 5

x *= y; // x is now 10

x /= y; //x is now 5

x %= y; // x is now 1

x <<= y; // x is now 4

x >>= y; // x is now 1

x &=y; // x is now 0

x |= y; // x is now 2

x ^= y; // x is now 0
