What are Assignment Operators in JavaScript

1. Assignment Operator (=): Assigns the value on the right to the variable on the left.

   javascriptCopy code

   let x = 5; // x is now 5

2. Addition Assignment (+=): Adds the value on the right to the current value of the variable and assigns the result to the variable.

   javascriptCopy code

   let y = 10; y += 3; // equivalent to y = y + 3 // y is now 13

3. Subtraction Assignment (-=): Subtracts the value on the right from the current value of the variable and assigns the result to the variable.

   javascriptCopy code

   let z = 8; z -= 2; // equivalent to z = z - 2 // z is now 6

4. Multiplication Assignment (*=): Multiplies the current value of the variable by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable.

   javascriptCopy code

   let a = 4; a *= 2; // equivalent to a = a * 2 // a is now 8

5. Division Assignment (/=): Divides the current value of the variable by the value on the right and assigns the result to the variable.

   javascriptCopy code

   let b = 16; b /= 4; // equivalent to b = b / 4 // b is now 4

These assignment operators provide a concise way to perform an operation and assign the result back to the variable in a single step.
