augmented assignment
 
Description

v op:= x : v
v op:= x performs the operation v op x and assigns the result to v; it produces the variable v.

There are augmented assignment operators for all infix operations except assignments.

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

  • v:=x — assign value
 
Examples

Example 1 — Adding to an Integer:
i1 +:= i2 produces the same result as i1 := i1 + i2.
