Assignment operators are used in Perl to assign values to variables.

They are an essential part of any

programming language and are particularly useful in Perl, which is known for its powerful text
manipulation capabilities. In this article, we will discuss the different assignment operators in Perl
and how they can be used in your code.

Basic Assignment Operator

The basic assignment operator in Perl is the equal sign (=). It is used to assign a value to a variable.
For example, if we want to assign the value 10 to a variable called $num, we can do so using the
following code:

$num = 10;

This will assign the value 10 to the variable$num. It is important to note that the basic assignment
operator does not perform any mathematical operations. It simply assigns the value to the variable.

Arithmetic Assignment Operators

Perl also has several arithmetic assignment operators that combine assignment with arithmetic
operations. These operators include += (add and assign), -= (subtract and assign), *= (multiply and
assign), /= (divide and assign), and %= (modulus and assign).

For example, if we want to add 5 to the value of $num and assign the result to $num, we can use the
+= operator as follows:

$num += 5;

This is equivalent to writing $num = $num + 5;. Similarly, we can use the other arithmetic
assignment operators to perform different arithmetic operations and assign the result to a variable.

String Concatenation Assignment Operator

The string concatenation assignment operator (.=) is used to concatenate a string to the end of
another string. For example, if we have two variables $str1 and $str2 with the values \"Hello\"
and \"World\" respectively, we can use the string concatenation assignment operator to concatenate
them as follows:

$str1 .= $str2;

This will result in the value of $str1 being \"HelloWorld\".

Logical Assignment Operators

Perl also has logical assignment operators that combine assignment with logical operations. These
operators include &= (logical AND and assign), |= (logical OR and assign), and ^= (logical XOR
and assign).

For example, if we have two variables $a and $b with the values 1 and 0 respectively, we can use
the logical AND operator to assign the result of $a & $b to $a as follows:

$a &= $b;

This will result in the value of $a being 0.

Conclusion

In conclusion, assignment operators are an important part of Perl and are used to assign values to
variables, perform arithmetic and logical operations, and concatenate strings. They are essential for
writing efficient and concise code. To learn more about Perl and how it can help with your

Assignment operators: Whether you are an old hand or you are just learning to program, assignment
operators are a useful tool to add to your programming arsenal. Assignment operators are often used
when you want to make a variable change by a specific amount in shorthand. Introduction to Perl.

Conditional Operator • The conditional operator (?:) is used to simplify an if/else statement. •
Syntax: Condition ? Expression1 : Expression2 • The statement above is equivalent to: if (Condition)
Expression1 else Expression2 Principles of Programming - NI July2005 Shortform assignment • As
with autoincrement and autodecrement, Perl supports shortform assignments like
this:$var1+=5;which is the same as$var1=$var1 + 5; • This can be performed for all four basic
mathematical operators. In computer source code, a variable name is one way to bind a variable to a
memory location; the corresponding value is stored as a data object in that location so that the object
can be accessed and manipulated later via the variable's name. Introduction to perl. Research

(9) Are Perl programs portable ? What line might you have to change in a Perl program in porting it
to another platform ? Logical Operators cont… • || - Logical OR • The truth of one condition is
enough to make the whole expression true. • Example: if (a == 10 || b == 9 || d == 1) means the if
statement is true when either one of a, b or d has the right value. • ! - Logical NOT (also called
logical negation) • Reverse the meaning of a condition • Example: if (!(points > 90)) means if points
not bigger than 90. Principles of Programming - NI July2005 As you can see, In the above example,
we are using assignment operator in if statement. We did a comparison of value 10 to an assignment
operator which resulted in a ‘true’ output because the return of assignment operator is the value of
left operand. SUMMARY • This chapter exposed you the operators used in C • Arithmetic operators

What is PERL?. The -= assignment operator is a combination of – and = operators. It subtracts the
right side value from the left side value and assign the result to left side operand. For example, x -=
y; is equivalent to x = x-y;. This is a combination of – and = operators. a -= b; is equivalent to a = a-
b; In this blog post, we will discuss what the assignment operators are, how to use them in Python,
and the benefits and drawbacks of doing so. We will also explore when it is best to use assignment
operators in Python, and when it may not be the best option. Finally, we will answer the question of
whether or not the incrementing operator ++ is available in Python. Introduction to perl

What is Perl? • Perl is a general-purpose programming language, and can be used for practically any
programming task any other high-level language can be used for. However, Perl is usually thought of
as a “glue” language, so called because it binds things together (such as tying databases to Web
pages, converting files from one format to another, and so on). • Perl is very flexible and is currently
available on over two dozen operating system platforms use strict • The use strictpragma enforces
some good programming rules • All new variables need to be declared with my #!/usr/bin/perl -w use

object of the class • public BankAccount() • Accessors gets data but doesn’t change data • public
