Kotlin Assignment Operators

Chapter: Kotlin Last Updated: 15-11-2017 19:07:23 UTC

Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
fun main(args: Array<String>) {

    var number = 20

    number *= 4
    println("number  = $number")

    number += 4
    println("number  = $number")

    number -= 4
    println("number  = $number")

    number /= 4
    println("number  = $number")

    number %= 4
    println("number  = $number")

}
                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

number  = 80
number  = 84
number  = 80
number  = 20
number  = 0

Notes:

• In Kotlin assignment operators assigns the value on its right to the operand on its left.
• Operator ( = ) : Simple assignment operator. Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand ( a = b ).
• Operator ( += ) : Add AND assignment operator. It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand ( a +=b ).
• Operator ( -= ) : Subtract AND assignment operator. It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand ( a -= b ).
• Operator ( /= ) : Divide AND assignment operator. It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand ( a /= b ).
• Operator ( %= ) : Modulus AND assignment operator. It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand ( a %= b ).
