Typescript assignment operators
Created By: chatGPT
In TypeScript, assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. These operators can modify the value of a variable as well as perform calculations at the same time. Here are some of the most commonly used assignment operators:
Simple Assignment: This is the most basic form of assignment. You simply assign a value to a variable using the
=
operator.let x: number;
x = 10;
Addition Assignment: This operator adds a value to a variable and assigns the result to that variable. It uses the
+=
operator.let x: number = 5;
x += 3; // x is now 8
Subtraction Assignment: This works similarly to addition assignment but subtracts a value. It uses the
-=
operator.let x: number = 5;
x -= 2; // x is now 3
Multiplication Assignment: Multiplies a variable by a value and assigns the result. This uses the
*=
operator.let x: number = 5;
x *= 2; // x is now 10
Division Assignment: Divides a variable by a value and assigns the quotient. This utilizes the
/=
operator.let x: number = 10;
x /= 2; // x is now 5
Modulus Assignment: This operator calculates the modulus (remainder) of a variable divided by a value and assigns it back. It uses the
These assignment operators can be combined with other expressions to perform complex calculations and updates efficiently.%=
operator.let x: number = 5;
x %= 3; // x is now 2
