C# Arithmetic Assignment Operator

In this chapter you will learn:

What are the assignment operator
Example to use the assignment operators

Description

C# Assignment Operator has this general form:


var = expression;

The general form of the shorthand is


var op = expression;

Thus, the arithmetic and logical assignment operators are

Full list of shortcut assignment operators available in C#.


Shortcut Operator                 Equivalent To
//from  w w  w . j av a  2 s  .co m
x++, ++x                          x=x+1

x--, --x                          x=x-1

x+=y                              x=x+y

x-=y                              x=x-y

x*=y                              x=x*y

x/=y                              x=x/y

x%=y                              x=x%y

x>>= y                            x=x>>y

x&lt;&lt;= y                            x=x&lt;&lt;y

x&=y                              x=x&y

x|=y                              x=x|y

x^=y                              x=x^y

Example


using System;/*from  www.ja va 2 s  . c om*/

class MainClass
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    int a, b, c, d, e;

    a = 1;
    a += 1;
    Console.WriteLine(a);
    b = a;
    b -= 2;
    Console.WriteLine(b);
    c = b;
    c *= 3;
    Console.WriteLine(c);
    d = 4;
    d /= 2;
    Console.WriteLine(d);
    e = 23;
    e %= 3;
    Console.WriteLine(e);
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
