The assignment operator `=` stores the value of the expression on its right into the variable on its left. Java also provides compound assignment operators (`+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`, `%=`) that combine an operation with an assignment in a single step.
`total` starts at 0, gains 10, then 5 (total = 15), then doubles (total = 30) via `*=`.
int total = 0;
total += 10; // total = total + 10
total *= 2; // total = total * 2int total = 0;
total += 10; // total = total + 10
total *= 2; // total = total * 2public class AssignmentDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int total = 0;
total += 10;
total += 5;
total *= 2;
System.out.println("Total: " + total);
}
