macOS Quick Java question

[Dr. No]

Can anyone here tell me what the Java shortcut "+=" does?

As in:

int term = 1;
int sum = 0;

sum += term;




Thanks- I am preparing for my computer science final

it adds the operand on the right to the operand on the left and reassigns the result to the left.

in your example, its the same as

sum = sum + term;

sum += term; is short for:

sum = sum + term;


Edit: too slow
