| Property/method value type: | Number primitive | ||||||||
| JavaScript syntax: | - | anOperand1 *= anOperand2 | |||||||
| Argument list: | anOperand1 | A value to be multiplied and then assigned into | |||||||
| anOperand2 | A multiplier value | ||||||||
Multiply the left operand by the right operand and assign the result to the left operand.
This is functionally equivalent to the expression:
anOperand1 = anOperand1 * anOperand2;
Although this is classified as an assignment operator it is really a compound of an assignment and a multiplicative operator.
The associativity is right to left.
Refer to the operator precedence topic for details of execution order.
The new value of anOperand1 is returned as a result of the expression.
The operand to the left of the operator must be an LValue. That is, it should be able to take an assignment and store the value.
