Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

In the example below, we use the assignment operator ( = ) to assign the value 10 to a variable called x :

Example

package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
  var x = 10
  fmt.Println(x)
}

The addition assignment operator ( += ) adds a value to a variable:

Example

package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
  var x = 10
  x +=5
  fmt.Println(x)
}
