The assignment statement changes the value of a variable, a field, a property or a event. Freya provides an assignment statement and a handful of compound assignments, in the sake of efficiency. However, Freya statements are not considered expressions, as they are in C#.
This is the syntax of all assignment kinds:
variable operator expression
The operator can be any of these:
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| x := y | Simple assignment |
| x += y | Addition: x = x + y |
| x -= y | Substraction: x = x - y |
| x *= y | Multiplication: x = x * y |
| x /= y | Division: x = x / y |
| x \= y | Integer division: x = x div y |
| x %= y | Remainder: x = x mod y |
| x ^= y | Bitwise xor: x = x xor y |
| x |= y | Bitwise or: x = x | y |
| x &= y | Bitwise and: x = x & y |
| x <<= y | Shift left: x = x << y |
| x >>= y | Shift right: x = x >> y |
