Question

The operator *= is called a(n) _____ operator.

Answer 1

The operator *= is called  multiple assignment operator.

How to determine the name of the operator?

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.
