Calculation Assignments

A calculation assignment is an assignment with an

• addition assignment operator (+=)
• subtraction assignment operator (-=)
• multiplication assignment operator (*=)
• division assignment operator (/=)
• concatenation assignment operator (&&=).
  

A calculation takes place when the assignment is made. These new operators make the statements ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE obsolete.
