C# Assignment Operators

In this chapter you will learn:
  • What is C# Assignment Operators?
  • How many types of assignment operators in C sharp?
  • How to use assignment operator in program?

The C# assignment operator is generally suffix with arithmetic operators. The symbol of c sharp assignment operator is "=" without quotes. The assignment operator widely used with C# programming. Consider a simple example:

result=num1+num2;

In this example, the equal to (=) assignment operator assigns the value of num1 + num2 into result variable.

Various types of C# assignment operators are mentioned below:

Assignment Operators:

Assignment Operators Usage Examples
= (Equal to) result=5 Assign the value 5 for result
+= (Plus Equal to) result+=5 Same as result=result+5
-= (Minus Equal to) result-=5 Same as result=result-5
*= (Multiply Equal to) result*=5 Same as result=result*5
/= (Divide Equal to) result/=5 Same as result=result/5
%= (Modulus Equal to) result%=5 Same as result=result%5

  14.             num1 = 10;
  15.             num2 = 5;
  16.  
  17.             num1 += num2; // same as num1=num1+num2
  18.             Console.WriteLine("Add = {0}", num1);
  19.  
  20.             num1 -= num2; // same as num1=num1-num2
  21.             Console.WriteLine("\n\nSubtraction = {0}", num1);
  22.  
  23.             num1 *= num2; // same as num1=num1*num2
  24.             Console.WriteLine("\n\nMultiplication={0}", num1);
  25.  
  26.             num1 %= num2; // same as num1=num1%num2
  27.             Console.WriteLine("\n\nModulus = {0}", num1);
  28.  
  29.             Console.ReadLine();
  30.         }
  31.     }
  32. }

Output


Add = 15


Subtraction = 10


Multiplication = 50


Modulus = 0
