Shortcuts
When you create a variable and set it equal to a value the equal sign is called an assignment operator.
There are some operators the can evaluate an operation and assign a value at the same time.
​This shorthand operation is created by using a math operation and an equal sign next to each-other.
x += 12 is equal to x = x + 12
x %= 3 is equal to x = x%3
Note: The variable must have an initial value
