Multiplication Assignment (*=)

The *= operator used after the LET keyword, assigns a variable by multiplying the current variable value to a numeric expression.

Syntax

variable *= expr

Important:

This operator cannot be used as an element of an expression, it is only allowed as assignment operator with the LET instruction.

Usage

The *= assignment operator multiplies the value of the left-hand variable to the right-hand numeric expression, and assigns the result to the variable.

Example

MAIN
  DEFINE x INTEGER
  LET x = 500
  LET x *= 5
END MAIN
