Assignment Operators

 

Operators that assign values to operands

The assignment operators perform an assignment to the first, or left-hand side, operand based on the value of the second, or right-hand side, operand. Most of the assignment operators are combination operators, in that they first perform a mathematical or bitwise operation on the two operands, then assign the result to the left-hand side operand.

Operator = (Assignment) Assigns the value of one operand to the other. Operator &= (Concatenate And Assign) Assigns the value of a concatenation between two operands. Operator += (Add And Assign) Assigns the value of an addition between two operands. Operator -= (Subtract And Assign) Assigns the value of a subtraction between two operands. Operator *= (Multiply And Assign) Assigns the value of a multiplication between two operands. Operator /= (Divide And Assign) Assigns the value of a division between two operands. Operator \= (Integer Divide And Assign) Assigns the value of an integer divide between two operands. Operator ^= (Exponentiate And Assign) Assigns the value of a exponentiation between two operands. Operator Let (Assignment) Assigns the value of one user defined type to another. Operator Let() (Assignment) Assigns the fields of a user defined type to a list of variables.

Operator Mod= (Modulus And Assign) Assigns the value of a modulus between two operands. Operator And= (Conjunction And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise conjunction between two operands. Operator Eqv= (Equivalence And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise equivalence between two operands. Operator Imp= (Implication And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise implication between two operands. Operator Or= (Inclusive Disjunction And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise inclusive or between two operands. Operator Xor= (Exclusive Disjunction And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise exclusive or between two operands. Operator Shl= (Shift Left And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise shift left of an operand. Operator Shr= (Shift Right And Assign) Assigns the value of a bitwise shift right of an operand.
