00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:07,660
I want to quickly talk about something called augmented.

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:09,810
Assignment.

3
00:00:13,370 --> 00:00:19,160
So we've learned that we can create variables like some value.

4
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:21,480
And we can assign it.

5
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:26,420
A data type in our case, let's just assign it five.

6
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:33,700
There's something called augmented assignment operator that allows us to do something quite neat.

7
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:34,680
Let's have a look.

8
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:43,250
So if this value I want to increase in, let's say, five plus two, so add two to it.

9
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,220
I could do that.

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:54,850
Or I could even use some value, which is already five by the time it gets to line three and do something

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,100
like this if I print.

12
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:05,900
Some value and I click, run, I'll get seven because five plus two equals to seven.

13
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:10,800
So in memory, some value points to seven.

14
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:18,570
But there's a neater way of doing this called augmented assignment operator instead of doing something

15
00:01:18,570 --> 00:01:19,200
like this.

16
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,940
I could just simply.

17
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:33,990
Add a plus to the equals, so we're going to say some value plus equals two is still going to equal

18
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:34,320
seven.

19
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:36,240
So it's the same thing as before.

20
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,870
And this skull augmented assignment operator, it's a shorthand of us doing something like this.

21
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:49,170
We can also change this to something like minus, which once again is like subtracting two from whatever

22
00:01:49,170 --> 00:01:51,420
the previous value of.

23
00:01:54,590 --> 00:02:00,260
Now, if I was to do this at the beginning here, so let's just do here and then comment this out,

24
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,580
if I click run.

25
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,410
I'll get an error because some value is not defined.

26
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,740
We haven't really created anything, so in order for this to work, we need to make sure that this variable

27
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,990
has some previous value.

28
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:19,960
So we've learned about the plus, the minus.

29
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:26,220
And then finally, we have the multiply once again, if I run this, we get ten.

30
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,010
Remember, this is just the same as us saying some value times to.

31
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:35,910
Is just a shorthand for all right.

32
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:39,670
This was a quick video in case you see something like this in the wild.

33
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,310
Now, you shouldn't be afraid.

34
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:46,020
Remember that the operator comes to the left of the equals sign.

35
00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:48,680
I'll see in the next one by.
