JAVASCRIPT ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS

In javascript, the = sign is used to assign a value to a variable. There are, however, certain shorthand formats that can be used to save time and code size.

Consider the following example:

var salary;
var extras;

Example 1:

salary = salary + extras;

In shorthand:

salary += extras;

Example 2:

salary = salary - extras;

In shorthand:

salary -= extras;

Example 3:

salary = salary * extras;

In shorthand:

salary *= extras;

Example 4:

salary = salary / extras;

In shorthand:

salary /= extras;

Example 5:

salary = salary % extras;

In shorthand:

salary %= extras;
