Operator *= (Multiply And Assign)

Multiplies and assigns a value to a variable

Syntax

Declare Operator *= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )

Parameters

• lhs
• T1
• rhs
• lhs
• T2

Description

This operator multiplies and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs * rhs

The right-hand side expression (rhs) will be converted to the left-hand side type (T1).

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.

Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '*=>' can be also used.

Remarks

Usage

lhs *= rhs

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB
