Assignment Operator in Perl
What are the Assignment Operator in perl?
Explanation
| Operator | Function |
| = | Normal Assignment |
| += | Add and Assign |
| -= | Subtract and Assign |
| *= | Multiply and Assign |
| /= | Divide and Assign |
| %= | Modulus and Assign |
| **= | Exponent and Assign |
Everyone knows how to use the assignment operator (=). There are other operators, when used with "=" gives a different result.
Example :
#! C:programfilesperlbinperl
print "content-type: text/htmlnn";
$a = 50;
$a += 50;
print "Value of a using addition operator: $a n";
print "<br>";
$a %= 8;
print "Value of a using modulus,assign operator: $a n";
Value of a using addition operator: 100
Value of a using mod,assign operator: 4
The above statement is equivalent to "$a=$a+50", thus displaying the result 100. In the same way, the working of modulus assignment operator is shown to display the remainder as "$a=$a%8" equal to 4.
