1. The Assignment operator tMyn1 The Assignment Operator The result of a calculation can be stored in a variable using the assignment operator =. Because the assignment operation first evaluates the right hand side and then stores the result in the variable on the left, we can write a statement like this: apples=apples*2;

2. The Assignment operator tMyn2 Assuming the variable is of type int, the following three statements all have exactly the same effect: count=count+1; count+=1; ++count; The increment operator ++ was written in front of the variable. This is called the prefix form. The increment (decrement) operator can also be written after the variable to which it applies.

3. The Assignment operator tMyn3 This is the postfix form, and the effect is slightly different. For example total=count++ + 6; is equivalent to this: total=count+6; ++count; Keep it as simple as possible!

4. The Assignment operator tMyn4 package assignmentop; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { int atTheBeginning=1; System.out.println("At the beginning: "+atTheBeginning++); System.out.println("Now it is "+atTheBeginning); System.out.println("Finally we have "+ ++atTheBeginning); } run: At the beginning: 1 Now it is 2 Finally we have 3 BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
