JavaScript Assignment Operators
Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.
| Operator | Example | Same As |
|---|---|---|
| = | x = y | x = y |
| += | x += y | x = x + y |
| -= | x -= y | x = x - y |
| *= | x *= y | x = x * y |
| /= | x /= y | x = x / y |
| %= | x %= y | x = x % y |
| <<= | x <<= y | x = x << y |
| >>= | x >>= y | x = x >> y |
| >>>= | x >>>= y | x = x >>> y |
| &= | x &= y | x = x & y |
| ^= | x ^= y | x = x ^ y |
| |= | x |= y | x = x | y |
| **= | x **= y | x = x ** y |
The **= operator is a part of ECMAScript 2016.
