x /= 3 |
Division |
x = x / 3 |
%= |
x %= 3 |
Modulus |
x = x % 3 |
//= |
x //= 3 |
Floor division |
x = x // 3 |

x **= 3 |
Exponentiation |
x = x ** 3 |
a = 9
b = 2
a += b; print(a); a = 9
a -= b; print(a); a = 9
a *= b; print(a); a = 9
a /= b; print(a); a = 9
a //= b; print(a); a = 9
a %= b; print(a); a = 9
a **= b; print(a); a = 9
