What are different assignment operators types in Python?
Following table shows all assignment operators −
| Operator |
Description |
Example |
| = |
Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand |
c = a + b value of a + b into c |
| += |
It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c += a add a into c |
| -= |
It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c -= a subtract a from c |
| *= |
It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c *= a multiply c by a and assign to c |
| /= |
It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand |
c /= a divide c by a and assign to c |
| %= |
It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand |
c %= a assign remainder of c/a to c |
| **= |
Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand |
c **= assign c raised to a to c |
| //= |
It performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand |
c //= a floor division of c/a assigned to c |
