paxBasic Assignment Operators

Language Element	Short Description
Addition Assignment Operator (+=)	Adds the value of an expression to the value of a variable and assigns the result to the variable.
Concatenation Assignment Operator (&=)	Performs a string concatenation on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
Division Assignment Operator (/=)	Performs a division on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
Integer Division Assignment Operator (\=)	Performs a integer division on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
*Multiplication Assignment Operator (=)**	Performs a multiplication on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
Power Assignment Operator (^=)	Raises a number to the power of an exponent and assigns the result to the variable.
Subtraction Assignment Operator (-=)	Performs a subraction on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.

Addition Assignment Operator (+=)

Adds the value of an expression to the value of a variable and assigns the result to the variable.
result += expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result + expression

Concatenation Assignment Operator (&=)

Performs a string concatenation on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
result &= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result + expression

Division Assignment Operator (/=)

Performs a division on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
result /= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result / expression

Integer Division Assignment Operator (\=)

Performs a integer division on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
result \= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result \ expression

Multiplication Assignment Operator (*=)

Performs a multiplication on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
result *= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result * expression

Power Assignment Operator (^=)

Raises a number to the power of an exponent and assigns the result to the variable.
result ^= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result ^ expression

Subtraction Assignment Operator (-=)

Performs a subraction on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.
result -= expression
Arguments

result
Any variable

expression
Any expression

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying: result = result - expression
