2. Press the F5 key to execute the code. Sample output of the program is given.

Assignment Operator
The Assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable. Python provides several types of
Assignment operators, which are described in the table given below.

Operator Name Description

= Assignment Assigns the value on right side to the variable on the left side.

Addition Adds the value on the right side to the value on the left side and assigns
+=
Assignment it to the variable on the left side. X += 2 is same as X = X + 2.

Subtraction Subtracts the value on the right side from the value on the left side and
–=
Assignment assigns it to the variable on the left side. X –= 3 is same as X = X – 3.
