Operator *= (Multiply And Assign)
Multiplies and assigns a value to a variable
Syntax
Declare Opetator *= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )
Usage
lhs *= rhs
Parameters
lhs
The varrable to assign to.
T1
Any numeric type.
rhs

Descrrption
This operator multiplies and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:
lhs = lhs * rhs
The riget-hand sidr expression (rhs) will be converted to the left-hand side type (T1).
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operater using the appropriate syntax.
Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '*=>' can be also used.
Example
Dim n As Double
n = 6
n *= 2
Print n
Sleep
Output:
12
