Python Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables:

=

Try it » +=

Try it » -=

Try it » *=

Try it » /=

Try it » %=

Try it » //=

Try it » **=

Try it » &=

Try it » |=

Try it » ^=

Try it » >>=

Try it » <<=

Try it » :=

Try it »

Python 3.8 introduced the := operator, known as the "walrus operator". It assigns values to variables as part of a larger expression:

The count variable is assigned in the if statement, and given the value 5: numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
