%= Operator
Visual Studio .NET 2003
The modulus assignment operator.
lhs %= expr
Where:
- lhs
- A storage location, property, or indexer.
- expr
- An expression.
Remarks
An expression using the %= assignment operator, such as
x %= y
is equivalent to
x = x % y
except that x is only evaluated once. The % operator is predefined for numeric types to compute the remainder after division.
The %= operator cannot be overloaded directly, but user-defined types can overload the % operator (see operator).
Example
// cs_operator_modulus_assignment.cs
using System;
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
int a = 5;
a %= 3;
Console.WriteLine(a);
}
}
Output
