Assignment operators
Assignment operators are used in Python to assign values to variables.
a = 5 is a simple assignment operator that assigns the value 5 on the right to the variable “a” on the left.
There are various compound operators in Python like a += 5 that adds to the variable and later assigns the same. It is equivalent to a = a + 5.

Equivalent to |
|
= |
x = 10 |
x = 10 |
|
+= |
x += 10 |
x = x + 10 |
|
-= |
x -= 10 |
x = x – 10 |
|
*= |
x *= 10 |
x = x * 10 |
|
/= |
x /= 10 |
x = x / 10 |
|
%= |
x %= 10 |
x = x % 10 |
|
//= |
x //= 10 |
x = x // 10 |
|
**= |
x **= 10 |
x = x ** 10 |
Example:
a=10 print(a) a=a+10 print(a) a=10 a+=10 print(a)
Output:
10 20 20 >>>
Example:
a=20 print(a) a=a-10 print(a) a=20 a-=10 print(a)
Output:
20 10 10 >>>
Example:
a=10 print(a) a=a*10 print(a) a=10 a*=10 print(a)
Output:
10 100 100 >>>
Example:
a=20 print(a) a=a/10 print(a) a=20 a/=10 print(a)
Output:
20 2.0 2.0 >>>
Example:
#1 a=10 print(a) #output:10 #2 a=a%10 print(a)#output:0 #3 a=10 a%=10 print(a)#output:0 #4 a=5 print(a)#output:5 #5 a=a/2 print(a)#output:2.5 #6 a=5 a=a//2 print(a)#output:2 #7 a=5 a=a/2 print(a)#output:2.5
Output:
10 0 0 5 2.5 2 2.5 >>>
