Python Assigment Operators

Assignment operators are used in Python to assign values to variables.

Always the value in Right is assigned to the value in Left.

This is a simple Assigment Operator - equal(=)


                            #The value 100 is assigned to variable "a".
                            a = 100 
                            
                            #The string value "Hello World" is assigned to variable "b".
                            b = "Hello World"

                            print(a)
                            print(b)

In the above example you can identify that when printing variables as an output we do not use quotes.

In Python, when using the 'print' statement, everything inside quotes(" ") are shown as it is.Therefore variables are not declared inside quotes(" ")

When using variables we can use a comma( , ) to seperate it from the value inside quotes(" ").


                            fruit = "Apple"

                            print("My favourite fruit is",fruit)

Here are few basic Assignment Operators.

Operator	Description	Example
=	Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand	c = a + b assigns value of a + b into c
+= Add AND	It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand	c += a is equivalent to c = c + a
-= Subtract AND	It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand	c -= a is equivalent to c = c - a
*= Multiply AND	It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand	c = a is equivalent to c = c a
/= Divide AND	It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand	c /= a is equivalent to c = c / a
%= Modulus AND	It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand	c %= a is equivalent to c = c % a
**= Exponent AND	Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand	c = a is equivalent to c = c a
//= Floor Division	It performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand	c //= a is equivalent to c = c // a
