JavaScript Assignment Operator

The followings are the assignment operator in javascript:

  • Simple Assignment
  • Additional Assignment
  • Subtraction Assignment
  • Multiplication Assignment
  • Division Assignment
  • Reminder Assignment  

Simple Assignment (=)

This operator assigns the right operand value to the left operand.

var a='apple', b='banana',c='cat';

Additional Assignment (+=)

This operator adds the value of the right operand to a variable and assigns the result to the left operand.

var x = 10;
x += 5;
//OUTPUT: X will be 15

Subtraction Assignment (-=)

This operator subtracts the value of the right operand from a left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.


var x = 10;
x -= 5;
//OUTPUT: X will be 5

Multiplication Assignment (*=)

This operator multiplies left and right operand values and assigns the result to the left operand.


var x = 10;
x *= 5;
//OUTPUT: X will be 50

Division Operator (/=)

This operator divide left operand value by right operand value and assign the result to the left operand.


var x = 10;
x /= 5;
//OUTPUT: X will be 2

Reminder Operator (%=)

The remainder assignment operator divides a left operand by the value of the right operand and assigns the remainder to the left operand.


var x = 10;
x %= 5;
//OUTPUT: X will be 0
