Ruby - assignment operators example
The example below shows the usage of assignment and compound assignment operators:
- = Assignment operator
- += Addition AND assignment operator
- -= Subtraction AND assignment operator
- *= Multiply AND assignment operator
- /= Division AND assignment operator
- %= Modulo AND assignment operator
- **= Exponent AND assignment operator
a = 25.0
puts "a = #{a} \n\n"
#Addition AND assignment operator
a += 5
puts "a += 5 makes a = #{a}"
#Subtraction AND assignment operator
a -= 8
puts "a -= 8 makes a = #{a}"
#Multiply AND assignment operator
a *= 4
puts "a *= 4 makes a = #{a}"
#Division AND assignment operator
a /= 2
puts "a /= 2 makes a = #{a}"
#Modulo AND assignment operator
a %= 5
puts "a %= 5 makes a = #{a}"
#Exponent AND assignment operator
a **= 3
puts "a **= 3 makes a = #{a}"
The output of the above code will be:
a = 25.0 a += 5 makes a = 30.0 a -= 8 makes a = 22.0 a *= 4 makes a = 88.0 a /= 2 makes a = 44.0 a %= 5 makes a = 4.0 a **= 3 makes a = 64.0
