Problem Description
Basic Compound Assignment Operators
In this problem: You will create a program using compound assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, /=, %=) to update a variable's value and print each result.
Learning Objective: Understand compound assignment operator behavior and their equivalence to regular assignment
Overview
Compound assignment operators use the form "variable operator= value" to perform an operation and assignment in one statement. x += 5 is equivalent to x = x + 5. They are very commonly used in practice because they make code more concise.
Specifications
- Declare an int variable with initial value 100
- Add 30 with
+=, subtract 20 with-=, multiply by 2 with*=, divide by 4 with/=, get remainder with 3 using%= - Print the value after each operation
Output Format
Start: 100
After += 30: 130
After -= 20: 110
After *= 2: 220
After /= 4: 55
After %= 3: 1
