Assignment Operators

Purpose: Assign values to variables.

Steps:

1. Use the equal sign (=) to assign a value to a variable:

let name = "John Doe";

2. Use compound assignment operators to perform operations on a variable while assigning it a new value:

• +=: Add a value
• -=: Subtract a value
• *=: Multiply by a value
• /=: Divide by a value
• %=: Modulo (remainder)

let count = 5;
count += 2; // Equivalent to count = count + 2;

3. Value Assignment:

• Variables are containers for values.
• let keyword creates a variable.
• Assignment operator assigns a value to the variable.

Example:

// Create a variable called "age" and assign it the value 25.
let age = 25;

Assignment Operators

What are they?

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

How to use them:

1. Equal sign (=): Use the equal sign to assign a value to a variable. Example: let name = "John Doe";
2. Compound assignment operators: These operators perform an operation and then assign the result to the variable. Examples:
   • +=: Add a value
   • -=: Subtract a value Example: let count = 5; count += 2; // Equivalent to count = count + 2;

Key Tip:

• Value assignment means giving a variable a value.

Example:

// Assign the value 25 to the variable "age".
let age = 25;
