Compound-assignment operators provide a shorter syntax for assigning the result of an arithmetic or bitwise operator. They perform the operation on the two operands before assigning the result to the first operand.

Compound-Assignment Operators in Java

Java supports 11 compound-assignment operators:

C Compound Assignment

  • 6 contributors

The compound-assignment operators combine the simple-assignment operator with another binary operator. Compound-assignment operators perform the operation specified by the additional operator, then assign the result to the left operand. For example, a compound-assignment expression such as

expression1 += expression2

can be understood as

expression1 = expression1 + expression2

However, the compound-assignment expression is not equivalent to the expanded version because the compound-assignment expression evaluates expression1 only once, while the expanded version evaluates expression1 twice: in the addition operation and in the assignment operation.

The operands of a compound-assignment operator must be of integral or floating type. Each compound-assignment operator performs the conversions that the corresponding binary operator performs and restricts the types of its operands accordingly. The addition-assignment ( += ) and subtraction-assignment ( -= ) operators can also have a left operand of pointer type, in which case the right-hand operand must be of integral type. The result of a compound-assignment operation has the value and type of the left operand.

In this example, a bitwise-inclusive-AND operation is performed on n and MASK , and the result is assigned to n . The manifest constant MASK is defined with a #define preprocessor directive.

Compound assignment in C++

I would like to know the execution flow of compound assignments in C++. I came across a CodeChef question , where I am calculating NCR mod p values and adding them together to get the final answer:

This is happening because of integer overflow.

So, what is the execution sequence of compound assignment?

Let's say, if we have an equation a+=b%c then what would be the execution sequence:

  • assignment-operator
  • compound-assignment

The compound assignment operators are in the second lowest precedence group of all in C++ (taking priority over only the comma operator). Thus, your a += b % c case would be equivalent to a += ( b % c ) , or a = a + ( b % c ) .

This explains why your two code snippets are different. The second:

is equivalent to:

Which is clearly different from the first (correct) expression:

This statement

is equivalent to the statement

As you can see it differs from the statement

From the C++ 14 Standard (5.18 Assignment and compound assignment operators)

7 The behavior of an expression of the form E1 op = E2 is equivalent to E1 = E1 op E2 except that E1 is evaluated only once. In += and -=, E1 shall either have arithmetic type or be a pointer to a possibly cv-qualified completely-defined object type. In all other cases, E1 shall have arithmetic type.

In , assignment is used to assign values to a variable. In this section, we will discuss the .

The is the combination of more than one operator. It includes an assignment operator and arithmetic operator or bitwise operator. The specified operation is performed between the right operand and the left operand and the resultant assigned to the left operand. Generally, these operators are used to assign results in shorter syntax forms. In short, the compound assignment operator can be used in place of an assignment operator.

For example:

Let's write the above statements using the compound assignment operator.

Using both assignment operators generates the same result.

Java supports the following assignment operators:

Catagories Operator Description Example Equivalent Expression
It assigns the result of the addition. count += 1 count = count + 1
It assigns the result of the subtraction. count -= 2 count = count - 2
It assigns the result of the multiplication. price *= quantity price = price * quantity
It assigns the result of the division. average /= number_of_terms average = number_of_terms
It assigns the result of the remainder of the division. s %= 1000 s = s % 1000
It assigns the result of the signed left bit shift. res <<= num res = res << num
It assigns the result of the signed right bit shift. y >>= 1 y = y >> 1
It assigns the result of the logical AND. x &= 2 x = x & 2
It assigns the result of the logical XOR. a ^= b a = a ^ b
It assigns the result of the logical OR. flag |= true flag = flag | true
It assigns the result of the unsigned right bit shift. p >>>= 4 p = p >>> 4

Assignment operators.

(C11)
Miscellaneous
General
(C11)
(C99)

Assignment and compound assignment operators are binary operators that modify the variable to their left using the value to their right.

Operator Operator name Example Description Equivalent of
= basic assignment a = b becomes equal to
+= addition assignment a += b becomes equal to the addition of and a = a + b
-= subtraction assignment a -= b becomes equal to the subtraction of from a = a - b
*= multiplication assignment a *= b becomes equal to the product of and a = a * b
/= division assignment a /= b becomes equal to the division of by a = a / b
%= modulo assignment a %= b becomes equal to the remainder of divided by a = a % b
&= bitwise AND assignment a &= b becomes equal to the bitwise AND of and a = a & b
|= bitwise OR assignment a |= b becomes equal to the bitwise OR of and a = a | b
^= bitwise XOR assignment a ^= b becomes equal to the bitwise XOR of and a = a ^ b
<<= bitwise left shift assignment a <<= b becomes equal to left shifted by a = a << b
>>= bitwise right shift assignment a >>= b becomes equal to right shifted by a = a >> b
Simple assignment Notes Compound assignment References See Also See also

[ edit ] Simple assignment

The simple assignment operator expressions have the form

lhs rhs
lhs - expression of any complete object type
rhs - expression of any type to lhs or with lhs

Assignment performs implicit conversion from the value of rhs to the type of lhs and then replaces the value in the object designated by lhs with the converted value of rhs .

Assignment also returns the same value as what was stored in lhs (so that expressions such as a = b = c are possible). The value category of the assignment operator is non-lvalue (so that expressions such as ( a = b ) = c are invalid).

rhs and lhs must satisfy one of the following:

  • both lhs and rhs have compatible struct or union type, or..
  • rhs must be implicitly convertible to lhs , which implies
  • both lhs and rhs have arithmetic types , in which case lhs may be volatile -qualified or atomic (since C11)
  • both lhs and rhs have pointer to compatible (ignoring qualifiers) types, or one of the pointers is a pointer to void, and the conversion would not add qualifiers to the pointed-to type. lhs may be volatile or restrict (since C99) -qualified or atomic (since C11) .
  • lhs is a (possibly qualified or atomic (since C11) ) pointer and rhs is a null pointer constant such as NULL or a nullptr_t value (since C23)
has type (possibly qualified or atomic(since C11)) _Bool and rhs is a pointer or a value(since C23) (since C99)
has type (possibly qualified or atomic) and rhs has type (since C23)

[ edit ] Notes

If rhs and lhs overlap in memory (e.g. they are members of the same union), the behavior is undefined unless the overlap is exact and the types are compatible .

Although arrays are not assignable, an array wrapped in a struct is assignable to another object of the same (or compatible) struct type.

The side effect of updating lhs is sequenced after the value computations, but not the side effects of lhs and rhs themselves and the evaluations of the operands are, as usual, unsequenced relative to each other (so the expressions such as i = ++ i ; are undefined)

Assignment strips extra range and precision from floating-point expressions (see FLT_EVAL_METHOD ).

In C++, assignment operators are lvalue expressions, not so in C.

[ edit ] Compound assignment

The compound assignment operator expressions have the form

lhs op rhs
op - one of *=, /= %=, += -=, <<=, >>=, &=, ^=, |=
lhs, rhs - expressions with (where lhs may be qualified or atomic), except when op is += or -=, which also accept pointer types with the same restrictions as + and -

The expression lhs @= rhs is exactly the same as lhs = lhs @ ( rhs ) , except that lhs is evaluated only once.

If lhs has type, the operation behaves as a single atomic read-modify-write operation with memory order .

For integer atomic types, the compound assignment @= is equivalent to:

addr = &lhs; T2 val = rhs; T1 old = *addr; T1 new; do { new = old @ val } while (! (addr, &old, new);
(since C11)

[SOLVED] Compound Assignment With Augmented Addition (Help needed)

Tell us what’s happening: I’m so stuck on this, I really don’t know what to do

Your code so far

You’re gonna use the compound assignment operator += to add a number to a variable and assign it at the same time.

If you have

you can use += as a shorter version:

Thank You so much, do you also know how to do the subtraction bit? I’m confused var a = 11; var b = 9; var c = 3;

// Only modify code below this line

a -= a - 6; b -= b - 15; c -= c - 1; that’s what I have so far

It’s also the same idea/pattern with subtraction (and in general, operations that require two operands).

Is it the same for Multiplication and Division or is it another concept?

:wink:

Can you tell what exactly confuses you?

This is what I came up with, for the multiplication

var a = 5; var b = 12; var c = 4.6;

a *= 25; b *= 36; c *= 46;

What am I doing wrong?

I’m very confused, I thought what I was doing was making it right

Thanks, I got how to do it. I really appreciate your help

The pattern of operating on a variable and assigning it back to that variable is so common that there’s a short-hand way of writing it.

Instead of writing a = a + 3 you can just write a += 3 . Same for all the other arithmetic operators. It’s just a different way of writing the same thing, but you only need to refer to the named variable once.

Assignment Operators in Programming

Assignment operators in programming are symbols used to assign values to variables. They offer shorthand notations for performing arithmetic operations and updating variable values in a single step. These operators are fundamental in most programming languages and help streamline code while improving readability.

  • Assignment Operators in Java
  • Assignment Operators in Python
  • Assignment Operators in C#
  • Assignment Operators in JavaScript
  • Application of Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used in programming to  assign values  to variables. We use an assignment operator to store and update data within a program. They enable programmers to store data in variables and manipulate that data. The most common assignment operator is the equals sign ( = ), which assigns the value on the right side of the operator to the variable on the left side.

Types of Assignment Operators:

  • Simple Assignment Operator ( = )
  • Addition Assignment Operator ( += )
  • Subtraction Assignment Operator ( -= )
  • Multiplication Assignment Operator ( *= )
  • Division Assignment Operator ( /= )
  • Modulus Assignment Operator ( %= )

Below is a table summarizing common assignment operators along with their symbols, description, and examples:

OperatorDescriptionExamples
= (Assignment)Assigns the value on the right to the variable on the left.  assigns the value 10 to the variable x.
+= (Addition Assignment)Adds the value on the right to the current value of the variable on the left and assigns the result to the variable.  is equivalent to 
-= (Subtraction Assignment)Subtracts the value on the right from the current value of the variable on the left and assigns the result to the variable.  is equivalent to 
*= (Multiplication Assignment)Multiplies the current value of the variable on the left by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable.  is equivalent to 
/= (Division Assignment)Divides the current value of the variable on the left by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable.  is equivalent to 
%= (Modulo Assignment)Calculates the modulo of the current value of the variable on the left and the value on the right, then assigns the result to the variable.  is equivalent to

  • Function Return Values : Storing the return values of functions in variables.
  • Data Manipulation : Assigning values received from user input or retrieved from databases to variables.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, assignment operators in programming are essential tools for assigning values to variables and performing operations in a concise and efficient manner. They allow programmers to manipulate data and control the flow of their programs effectively. Understanding and using assignment operators correctly is fundamental to writing clear, efficient, and maintainable code in various programming languages.
