For more useless facts, saying x = x + 1 in turing is only a warning and will still run the code in most versions
, tho yes i was going for pseudocode.Computer Science Canada What does += or *= mean? |

Im new to turing and i saw a program that included += this symbol. My question is what does += or *= mean? |

saying somthing like x += 1 is equlent to saying x = x +1 The same goes for the * operation. Simpley put it means add (for +=) or times (for *=) the varible on the left by the stamnet on the right and store it back in the varible on the left. |

To be exact, x += 1 is equivalent to saying x := x + 1 |

That's identical to what Dan said. |

Not really. There is a colon that dan missed. |

The colon was implied. Generally speaking, = is the assignment operator, while == is the comparison for equality. So the difference is between pseudocode and Turing's syntax. Which in this case is negligible. |
