Compound assignment operators
« Thread started on: Nov 6th, 2016, 11:22pm » |

"Compound assignment operators (+=. ‑=, *=, /=) are provided. "
I would like to see some examples of using Compound assignment operators: what does += do?
Thanks
r.m.

Well, instead of Code:you write Code:.
And instantly make your code uncompatible with majority of BASIC's.
(You may not care actually - one always code "here" and "now")

Visual BASIC has them, BBC BASIC has them, PowerBASIC has them.... (and of course they're ubiquitous in most other programming languages like C++, Java, Python etc.).
Also bear in mind that the compound assignment operators aren't just faster to write, they execute more quickly too.
