All flashcards

Flashcard 1: What is the result after 'z *= 3' if z is 7?

Answer:

  1. 7 × 3 = 21, then assigned back to z.

Flashcard 2: What does 'x -= y' do to x?

Answer: Decreases x by y. Equivalent to x = x - y.

Flashcard 3: What does 'x += y' do to x?

Answer: Increases x by y. Equivalent to x = x + y.

Flashcard 4: Which operator performs division and assignment?

Answer: /=. Combines division (/) with assignment (=).

Flashcard 5: What operation does 'x %= 5' perform?

Answer: Assigns remainder of x divided by 5. Uses modulo operator to find remainder.

Flashcard 6: What does the operator '+=' do?

Answer: Adds right operand to left and assigns the result. Equivalent to x = x + (right operand).

Flashcard 7: Which operator is used for addition and assignment?

Answer: +=. Combines addition (+) with assignment (=).

Flashcard 8: What is the result of 'y /= 2' if y is 9?

Answer: 4.5. 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5, then assigned back to y.

Flashcard 9: What is the result of 'x *= 3' if x is initially 2?

Answer:

  1. 2 × 3 = 6, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 10: Identify the compound assignment operator in 'x += 5'.

Answer: +=. The += operator is clearly visible in the expression.

Flashcard 11: What does the operator '*=' in 'x *= y' do?

Answer: Multiplies x by y and assigns. Equivalent to x = x * y.

Flashcard 12: What does '/=' do in terms of operation?

Answer: Divides left operand by right and assigns. Equivalent to x = x / (right operand).

Flashcard 13: Which operator is used for addition and assignment?

Answer: +=. Combines addition (+) with assignment (=).

Flashcard 14: Which operator performs division and assignment?

Answer: $/=Combinesdivision($/ Combines division ($/) with assignment (==).

Flashcard 15: What does the operator '*=' in 'x *= y' do?

Answer: Multiplies x by y and assigns. Equivalent to x = x * y.

Flashcard 16: What does '/=' do in terms of operation?

Answer: Divides left operand by right and assigns. Equivalent to x = x / (right operand).

Flashcard 17: What operation does 'x %= 5' perform?

Answer: Assigns remainder of x divided by 5. Uses modulo operator to find remainder.

Flashcard 18: What does 'x += y' do to x?

Answer: Increases x by y. Equivalent to x = x + y.

Flashcard 19: Which compound assignment operator multiplies and assigns?

Answer: =. Combines multiplication () with assignment (=).

Flashcard 20: State the operation for '-=' in code.

Answer: Subtracts right operand from left and assigns. Equivalent to x = x - (right operand).

Flashcard 21: What result does 'x %= 4' give if x is 9?

Answer:

  1. 9 mod 4 = 1, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 22: Find the result: 'x %= 3' when x is 10.

Answer:

  1. 10 mod 3 = 1, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 23: Identify the compound assignment operator in 'x += 5'.

Answer: +=. The += operator is clearly visible in the expression.

Flashcard 24: What result does 'x %= 4' give if x is 9?

Answer:

  1. 9 mod 4 = 1, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 25: State the operation for '-=' in code.

Answer: Subtracts right operand from left and assigns. Equivalent to x = x - (right operand).

Flashcard 26: What is the result of 'x *= 3' if x is initially 2?

Answer:

  1. 2 × 3 = 6, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 27: What is the result after 'z *= 3' if z is 7?

Answer:

  1. 7 × 3 = 21, then assigned back to z.

Flashcard 28: Which compound assignment operator multiplies and assigns?

Answer: =. Combines multiplication () with assignment (=).

Flashcard 29: Find the result: 'x %= 3' when x is 10.

Answer:

  1. 10 mod 3 = 1, then assigned back to x.

Flashcard 30: What is the result of 'y /= 2' if y is 9?

Answer: 4.5. 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5, then assigned back to y.

Flashcard 31: What does the operator '+=' do?

Answer: Adds right operand to left and assigns the result. Equivalent to x = x + (right operand).

Flashcard 32: What does 'x -= y' do to x?

Answer: Decreases x by y. Equivalent to x = x - y.
