Description

v op:= x : v

Additional error conditions for augmented assignment operations are the same as for the basic operations.
 
Parameters
v
a settable variable
op
all infix operators except assignment
x
just about anything
returns
v
 
Errors
101 v requires integer, but x not integer
103 v requires string, but x not string
111 v is not a variable
+ the same as for op

Example 1 — Adding to an Integer:
