Program Example 4.15:

Assignment operations in C++

#include<iostream> Chapter Four: Object oriented programming with C++
using namespace std;
FOR ONLINE READING ONLY
int main()
{
int a, b;
a=34;
b=22;
a=b;
b=7;
cout<<”a = “<<a<<endl;
cout<<”b = “<<b<<endl;
return 0;
}

Output:

Figure 4.31: Output of the program
The output of the given program in Figure 4.34 shows that variable a assigned
value of b, which is 22, and variable b replaced its value with 7.

(c) Compound assignment operators
If you want to change the value of the variable by conducting an operation on the
value currently stored in the variable, you can use compound assignment operators.
Table 4.8 shows compound assignment operators and their respective meanings.

Table 4.8: Compound assignment operators
Operator Example Meaning
+ = a + =b a = a +b

= a – =b a = a – b
* = a*=b a = a*b
/ = a/=b a = a/b

% = a%=b a = a%b
