The compound assignment operator (+=) in Java is used to add the right operand to the left operand and assign the result to the left operand. In this case, x += 5 is equivalent to x = x + 5.
public class PlusEqualsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Define the initial value of x
int x = 10;
// Use the += operator to add 5 to x
x += 5;
// Display the updated value of x
System.out.println("Value of x after x += 5: " + x);
}
}
When you run this program, it will output:
Value of x after x += 5: 15
