00:00:01,950 --> 00:00:03,330
Welcome back.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:15,020
I want to quickly talk about something called augmented assignment operator so we've learned that we

3
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:25,650
can create variables like some value and we can assign it a data type in our case let's just assign

4
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:33,380
it five there's something called augmented assignment operator that allows us to do something quite

5
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:34,100
neat.

6
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:45,170
Let's have a look so if this value I want to increase in let's say 5 plus 2 so add two to it I could

7
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:54,220
do that or I could even use some value which is already five by the time it gets to line three and do

8
00:00:54,220 --> 00:01:05,440
something like this if I print some value and I click Run I'll get seven because five plus two equals

9
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,180
to seven.

10
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:16,270
So in memory some value points to seven but there's a neater way of doing this called augmented assignment

11
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:28,410
operator instead of doing something like this I could just simply add a plus to the equals so we're

12
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:34,800
going to say some value plus equals two is still going to equal seven.

13
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,650
So it's the same thing as before and this school augmented assignment operator it's a shorthand of us

14
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:42,550
doing something like this.

15
00:01:42,690 --> 00:01:49,140
We can also change this to something like minus which once again is like subtracting two from whatever

16
00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:54,640
the previous value of some value was.

17
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:57,400
Now if I was to do this at the beginning here.

18
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:06,630
So let's just do here and then comment this out and if I click Run I'll get an error because some value

19
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:07,480
is not defined.

20
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:09,150
We haven't really created anything.

21
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:17,690
So in order for this to work we need to make sure that this variable has some previous value so we've

22
00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:20,020
learned about the plus the minus.

23
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:22,960
And then finally we have the multiply.

24
00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:26,780
Once again if I run this we get 10.

25
00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:35,550
Remember this is just the same as us saying some value times to is just a shorthand form.

26
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:35,980
All right.

27
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:39,800
This was a quick video in case you see something like this in the wall.

28
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:41,630
Now you shouldn't be afraid.

29
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:46,040
Remember that the operator comes to the left of the equals sign.

30
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:48,570
I'll see in the next one by.
