What are the assignment operators in Java?
Following are the assignment operators supported by Java language:
Operator
| Description
| Example
|
=
| Simple assignment operator. Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand.
| C = A + B will assign value of A + B into C
|
+=
| Add AND assignment operator. It adds right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
| C += A is equivalent to C = C + A
|
-=
| Subtract AND assignment operator. It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
| C -= A is equivalent to C = C – A
|
*=
| Multiply AND assignment operator. It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
| C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A
|
/=
| Divide AND assignment operator. It divides left operand with the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
| C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A
|
%=
| Modulus AND assignment operator. It takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.
| C %= A i equivalent to C = C % A
|
<<=
| Left shift AND assignment operator.
| C <<= 2 is same as C = C << 2
|
>>=
| Right shift AND assignment operator.
| C >>= 2 is same as C = C >> 2
|
&=
| Bitwise AND assignment operator.
| C &= 2 is same as C = C & 2
|
^=
| Bitwise exclusive OR and assignment operator.
| C ^= 2 is same as C = C ^ 2
|
|= | Bitwise inclusive OR and assignment operator.
| C |= 2 is same as C = C | 2 |
