8. Assignment Operators

• Assign values to variables:

  
  int main() 
  {
      int x;
      int y;
      int z;
  
      x = 1; 
      y = x; 
      x += y;  // x = x + y; 
      z *= 3;  // z = z * 3; 
      return 0;
  }
  
  

• The last two operators,

  • += and *=

  are known as arithmetic assignment operators. They are pronounced as "add and assign," "multiply and assign ," respectively.
