Assignment operators are used to assign and update values to variables.

See definition:

Operation	Operator	Examples
Assignment Operator	=	var_a = 10
Multiplication Assignment	*=	var_a *= 3 # var_a = var_a * 3
Division Assignment	/=	var_a /= 2  # var_a = var_a / 2
Addition Assignment	+=	var_a += 5 # var_a = var_a + 5
Subtraction Assignment	-=	var_a -= 2 # var_a = var_a - 2
Remainder Assignment	%=	var_a %= 3  # var_a = var_a % 3
Exponent Assignment	**=	var_a **= 2 # var_a = var_a ** 2

Examples

# Define a variable "var_a" by assigning 10
var_a = 10

# assign the multiplication of var_a by 3
var_a *= 3
print(var_a)

30

# assign the division of var_a by 3
var_a /= 2
print(var_a)

15.0

# assign the subtraction of var_a by -5
var_a -= 5
print(var_a)

10.0

# assign the exponent of var_a by 2
var_a **= 2
