JavaScript Assignment
JavaScript Assignment Operators
| Operator | Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| = | Simple Assignment Operator | Assigns a value to a variable. | x = 5; |
| += | Addition Assignment Operator | Adds the value on the right to the variable's current value and assigns the result to the variable. | y += 5; |
| -= | Subtraction Assignment Operator | Subtracts the value on the right from the variable's current value and assigns the result to the variable. | y -= 5; |
| *= | Multiplication Assignment Operator | Multiplies the variable's current value by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable. | a *= 2; |
| /= | Division Assignment Operator | Divides the variable's current value by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable. | b /= 4; |
| %= | Remainder Assignment Operator | Assigns the remainder of dividing the variable's current value by the value on the right to the variabl | c %= 7; |
| **= | Exponentiation Assignment Operator | Raises the variable to the power of the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable. | d **= 3; |
Shift Assignment Operators
| Operator | Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| <<= | Left Shift Assignment | The left shift assignment operator shifts the bits of a number to the left by a specified number of positions and assigns the result back to the variable. | x <<= 2; |
| >>= | Right Shift Assignment | The right shift assignment operator shifts the bits of a number to the right by a specified number of positions and assigns the result back to the variable. | x >>= 2; |
| >>>= | Unsigned Right Shift Assignment | The unsigned right shift assignment operator shifts the bits of a number to the right by a specified number of positions, filling the leftmost bits with zeros, and assigns the result back to the variable. | x >>>= 2; |
Bitwise Assignment Operators
| Operator | Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| &= | Bitwise AND assignment | Performs a bitwise AND operation between the left operand and the right operand, and assigns the result to the left operand. | x &= y |
| |= | Bitwise OR assignment | Performs a bitwise OR operation between the left operand and the right operand, and assigns the result to the left operand. | x |= y |
| ^= | Bitwise XOR assignment | Performs a bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) operation between the left operand and the right operand, and assigns the result to the left operand. | x ^= y |
| <<= | Left shift assignment | Shifts the bits of the left operand to the left by the number of positions specified by the right operand, and assigns the result to the left operand. | x <<= y |
| >>= | Right shift assignment | Shifts the bits of the left operand to the right by the number of positions specified by the right operand, and assigns the result to the left operand. | x >>= y |
