Java Compound Assignment Operators

Compound assignment operators are a useful tool to have in your tool box when you program in Java. They are so useful, in fact, that Python dissallowed the shorthand increment and decrement operators and only put compound assignment operators in the language. Compound assignment operators let you do a mathematical operation to a varialbe, and assign the result of that operation right back in to the variable. Five math operators in Java support compound assignment: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus.
