Operator

Example

Meaning

:=

x := y

Store the value of the second operand in the object specified by the first operand (simple assignment).

=

x = y

Store the value of the second operand in the object specified by the first operand (simple assignment).
This is allowed in the VFP dialect only ! In all other dialects assigning a value with a '=' operator will generate a warning.

+=

x += y

Add the value of the second operand to the value of the first operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand

-=

x -= y

Subtract the value of the second operand from the value of the first operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

/=

x /= y

Divide the value of the first operand by the value of the second operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand

%=

x %= y

Take modulus of the first operand specified by the value of the second operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

*=

x *= y

Multiply the value of the first operand by the value of the second operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

^= or **=

x ^= y

Calculate the exponent of the first operand and the second operand ; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.
Please note that in languages such as C# the ^= operator performs a Bitwise XOR

|=
 

x |= y

Obtain the bitwise inclusive OR of the first and second operands; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

&=

x &= y

Obtain the bitwise AND of the first and second operands; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

~=

x ~= y

Obtain the bitwise exclusive OR of the first and second operands; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

<<=

x <<= y

Shift the value of the first operand left the number of bits specified by the value of the second operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

>>=

x >>= y

Shift the value of the first operand right the number of bits specified by the value of the second operand; store the result in the object specified by the first operand.

?=

a ?= "somevalue"

When a is NULL then it will be assigned "somevalue". Otherwise a is not changed
