Arithmetic self-operatorsArithmetic self-operators |
||||
These operators work only on numeric operands. The syntax is: <target> += <right_operand> <target> -= <right_operand> <target> *= <right_operand> <target> /= <right_operand> <target> %= <right_operand> <target> must be an existing variable and contain a numeric value. <right_operand> must evaluate to a numeric value. Note that if you want <right_operand> to be a result of an expression, you must enclose it in the $(*) expression evaluation call. Operator += sums the <right_operand> value to the <target> value and stores the result in <target>. Operator -= subtracts <right_operand> from <target> and stores the result in <target>. Operator *= multiplies <target> by <right_operand> and stores the result in <target>. Operator /= divides <target> by <right_operand> and stores the result in <target>. Operator %= computes <target> modulus <right_operand> and stores the result in <target>. The division and modulus operators fail with an error if <right_operand> is 0. If both <target> and <right_operand> are integer values then the results of the division and modulus are integers (truncated for the division). If <target> or <right_operand> or both are floating point values then the result is a floating point value. |
