Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

A compound assignment operator like += or -= is an operator that does two things at the same time: first, it peforms a calculation; and second, it assigns the calculated value to a variable or constant.

Review the following two examples:

  • totalPoints +=95; same as totalPoints = totalPoints + 95

  • finalGrade -= 30;same as finalGrade = finalGrade – 30

Discuss the possible benefits, if any, of using a compound operator vs. the alternative. Can you think of any drawbacks to using compound operators?
