The operator *= is called multiple assignment operator.
<h3>How to determine the name of the operator?</h3>
The operator is given as
*=
Take for instance, we have the following statement in Python
a *= b
The meaning of the above statement is
a = a * b
Assume the following values for the variables
a = 6 and b = 3
The value of the operation a *= b would be
a *= b --- given expression
a = a * b --- expanded expression
a = 6 * 3 ---- when the values are substituted
a = 18 --- the result
This implies that the operator represents an assignment and a multiply operator
Hence, the operator *= is called multiple assignment operator.
