# \= assignment operator

The \= assignment operator divides a
variable by a given numeric expression and assigns the remainder (modulo)
to the variable.

## Syntax

```
var \= num.exp
```

## Example(s)

This divides the current value
of `x` by `2` and assigns the remainder
to `x`.

```
x \= 2
```
This is equivalent to:

```
x = x \ 2
```
