What do these ( += , -= , *= , /= ) Operators Mean?
c#, operators
Solution
They are shorthand:
`a += b`
is the same as
`a = a + (b)`
Etc...
so
- `a -= b` is equivalent to `a = a - (b)`
- `a *= b` is equivalent to `a = a * (b)`
- `a /= b` is equivalent to `a = a / (b)`
For the reason why there's a parenthesis over the `b`'s, `a *= 10 / 5` is not equivalent to `a = a * 10 / 5`, but rather equivalent to `a = a * (10 / 5)`
As Kevin Brydon suggested - Familiarize yourself with the operators in C# here.
Problem
I have been looking everywhere to figure out what these mean and how they are used `+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`, the most I have found is that they are, "Assignment by Addition", "Assignment by Difference", "Assignment by Product", "Assignment by Quotient", etc, but I can't figure out when or how they are used. If anyone can please explain this to me I would be very grateful. thanks
