What is an assignment operator in C#?
Assign value to a variable using the assignment operator in C#.
The following are the assignment operators in C# −
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
= | Simple assignment operator, Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand | C = A + B assigns value of A + B into C |
+= | Add AND assignment operator, It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand | C += A is equivalent to C = C + A |
-= | Subtract AND assignment operator, It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand | C -= A is equivalent to C = C – A |
*= | Multiply AND assignment operator, It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand | C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A |
/= | Divide AND assignment operator, It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand | C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A |
%= | Modulus AND assignment operator, It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand | C %= A is 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 |
The following is an example −
Example
using System; namespace OperatorsAppl { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int a = 21; int c; c = a; Console.WriteLine("Assignment Operator: {0}", c); c += a; Console.WriteLine("+= Value: {0}", c); c -= a; Console.WriteLine("+= Value: {0}", c); c *= a; Console.WriteLine("*= Value: {0}", c); c /= a; Console.WriteLine("/= Value: {0}", c); c = 200; c %= a; Console.WriteLine("%= Value: {0}", c); c <<= 2; Console.WriteLine("<<= Value: {0}", c); Console.ReadLine(); } } }
Output
Assignment Operator: 21 += Value: 42 += Value: 21 *= Value: 441 /= Value: 21 %= Value: 11 <<= Value: 44
