Assignment operators
Assignment operators are used to assigning values.
a = 2 is a simple assignment operator that assigns 2 to the variable a.
Python has compound operators, for example, +=, a += 1 that adds value to the variable and later assigns the same. a+=1 is equal to a = a + 1
Here is the list of the assignment operators
