Create some variables



In [41]:

    
a = 2
b = 1
c = 0
d = 3

Assigns values from right side to left side



In [42]:

    
c = a + b
c









    Out[42]:





3

Add right to the left and assign the result to left (c = a + c)



In [43]:

    
c += a
c









    Out[43]:





5

Subtract right from the left and assign the result to left (c = a - c)



In [44]:

    
c -= a
c









    Out[44]:





3

Multiply right with the left and assign the result to left (c = a * c)



In [45]:

    
c *= a
c









    Out[45]:





6

Divide left with the right and assign the result to left (c = c / a)



In [46]:

    
c /= a
c









    Out[46]:





3.0

Takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left (a = d % a)



In [47]:

    
d %= a
d









    Out[47]:





1

Exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left (d = d ^ a)



In [48]:

    
d **= a
d









    Out[48]:





1

Floor division on operators and assign value to the left (d = d // a)



In [24]:

    
d //= a
d









    Out[24]:
