C# Assignment Operators with Examples

In c#, Assignment Operators are useful to assign a new value to the operand, and these operators will work with only one operand.

 

For example, we can declare and assign a value to the variable using the assignment operator (=) like as shown below.

 

int a;
a = 10;

If you observe the above sample, we defined a variable called “a” and assigned a new value using an assignment operator (=) based on our requirements.

 

The following table lists the different types of operators available in c# assignment operators.

 

OperatorNameDescriptionExample
= Equal to It is used to assign the values to variables. int a; a = 10
+= Addition Assignment It performs the addition of left and right operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a += 10 is equals to a = a + 10
-= Subtraction Assignment It performs the subtraction of left and right operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a -= 10 is equals to a = a - 10
*= Multiplication Assignment It performs the multiplication of left and right operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a *= 10 is equals to a = a * 10
/= Division Assignment It performs the division of left and right operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a /= 10 is equals to a = a / 10
%= Modulo Assignment It performs the modulo operation on two operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a %= 10 is equals to a = a % 10
&= Bitwise AND Assignment It performs the Bitwise AND operation on two operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a &= 10 is equals to a = a & 10
|= Bitwise OR Assignment It performs the Bitwise OR operation on two operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a |= 10 is equals to a = a | 10
^= Bitwise Exclusive OR Assignment It performs the Bitwise XOR operation on two operands and assigns a result to the left operand. a ^= 10 is equals to a = a ^ 10
>>= Right Shift Assignment It moves the left operand bit values to the right based on the number of positions specified by the second operand. a >>= 2 is equals to a = a >> 2
<<= Left Shift Assignment It moves the left operand bit values to the left based on the number of positions specified by the second operand. a <<= 2 is equals to a = a << 2

C# Assignment Operators Example

Following is the example of using assignment Operators in the c# programming language.

 

using System;

namespace Tutlane
{
    class Program
    {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           int x = 20;
           x += 10;
           Console.WriteLine("Add Assignment: " + x);
           x *= 4;
           Console.WriteLine("Multiply Assignment: " + x);
           x %= 7;
           Console.WriteLine("Modulo Assignment: " + x);
           x &= 10;
           Console.WriteLine("Bitwise And Assignment: " + x);
           x ^= 12;
           Console.WriteLine("Bitwise XOR Assignment: " + x);
           x >>= 3;
           Console.WriteLine("Right Shift Assignment: " + x);
           Console.WriteLine("Press Enter Key to Exit..");
           Console.ReadLine();
       }
    }
}

If you observe the above example, we defined a variable or operand “x” and assigning new values to that variable by using assignment operators in the c# programming language.

Output of C# Assignment Operators Example

When we execute the above c# program, we will get the result as shown below.

This is how we can use assignment operators in c# to assign new values to the variable based on our requirements.
