<h1>Assignment operators.</h1>
</center>
<hr>
C has the following assignement operators:
<pre>
= += -= *= /= %= <<= >>= &= ^= |=
</pre>
= is the obvious one. It takes the result of the expression on the right
and assigns it to the variable on the left (lvalue).
<pre>
main ()
{
int a, b=4, c=10;
a = b + c;
}
</pre>
I know this is stating the obvious, but:
<ol>
<li><b>b</b> is assigned the value 4
<li><b>c</b> is assigned the value 10
<li><b>a</b> is assigned the result of b plus C (14).
</ol>
<hr>
All the other operators act in a simular way. If you find yourself
coding the example on the left, it could be changed to the example on
the right.
<pre>
main () main()
{ {
int a=4; int a=4;
a = a * 4; a *= 4;
} }
</pre>
The rule is as follows:
<p>
The lvalue is multiplied by the rvalue and the result assigned to the
lvalue.
<p>
Here is another example.
<pre>
main() main()
{ {
int a=10, b=2; int a=10, b=2;
a /= b * 5; a = a / (b*5);
} }
</pre>
Again both preduce the same answer (1).
