Go Assignment Operators

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

In the example below, we use the assignment operator (=) to assign the value 10 to a variable called x:

package main
import ("fmt")

func main() {
var x = 10
fmt.Println(x)
}

The addition assignment operator (+=) adds a value to a variable:

package main
import ("fmt")

func main() {
  var x = 10
  x +=5
  fmt.Println(x)
}

A list of all assignment operators:

Operator	Example	Same As	Try it
=	x = 5	x = 5	Try it »
+=	x += 3	x = x + 3	Try it »
-=	x -= 3	x = x - 3	Try it »
*=	x *= 3	x = x * 3	Try it »
/=	x /= 3	x = x / 3	Try it »
%=	x %= 3	x = x % 3	Try it »
&=	x &= 3	x = x & 3	Try it »
\|=	x \|= 3	x = x \| 3	Try it »
^=	x ^= 3	x = x ^ 3	Try it »
>>=	x >>= 3	x = x >> 3	Try it »
<<=	x <<= 3	x = x << 3	Try it »
