Compound Assignment
Video Summary: https://youtu.be/K79LQ35ATRA
In programming, you will often find yourself incrementing or updating variables dependent on their original value, such as "num = num * num2." Instead of writing this out each time, you can use the following compound assignments:
| Assignment | Effect |
|---|---|
| += | x = x + y |
| -= | x = x - y |
| *= | x = x * y |
| /= | x = x / y |
| %= | x = x % y |
Exercise
Consider the following program and output:
Hello World
55
5
55
5
Change the expressions to use compound assignments. The output should remain the same as when you started.
