Solution

Assignment operators:

In Python, = is a simple assignment operator to assign values to variables. Let a = 5 and b = 10 assign the value 5 to a and 10 to b this two assignment statements can also be given as a, b = 5, 10 that assigns the value 5 and 10 on the right to the variables a and b respectively. There are various compound operators in Python like + =, – =,* =, / = % =,** = and //= are also available.

Operator Description Example
Assume x=10
= Assigns right side operands to left variable >>> x=10 >>> b= "Computer"
+= Added and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=30 >>> x+=20 # x=x+20
-= Subtracted and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=25 >>> x-=5 # x=x-5
* = Multiplied and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=125 >>> x*=5 # x=x*5
/= Divided and assign back the result to left operand i.e. x=62.5 >>> x/=2 # x=x/2
%= Taken modulus(Remainder) using two operands and assign the result to left operand i.e. x=2.5 >>> x%=3#x=x%3
**= Performed exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand i.e. x=6.25 >>> x**=2#x=x**2
//= Performed floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand i.e. x=2.0 >>> x//=3
