5.3.4 Assignment operators

The assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. They can assign the results of arithmetic operations and bitwise logical operations on variables. The following table lists and describes the assignment operators supported by JP1/Advanced Shell.

Table 5‒31: Assignment operators supported by JP1/Advanced Shell
Assignment operator	Description
`num1=num2`	Assigns `num2` to `num1`.
`num1*=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by multiplying `num1` by `num2`.
`num1/=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by dividing `num1` by `num2`.
`num1%=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the remainder obtained by dividing `num1` by `num2`.
`num1+=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by adding `num1` and `num2`.
`num1-=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by subtracting `num2` from `num1`.
`num1<<=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by shifting `num1` to the left by `num2` bits.
`num1>>=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by shifting `num1` to the right by `num2` bits.
`num1&=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by performing bitwise AND operation on `num1` and `num2`.
`num1\|=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by performing bitwise OR operation on `num1` and `num2`.
`num1^=num2`	Assigns to `num1` the result obtained by performing bitwise EXCLUSIVE-OR operation on `num1` and `num2`.
