简单赋值运算符和复合赋值运算符

java 中的=为简单赋值运算符，

+= -= 等为复合赋值运算符

 

看java specification中的一句话

 

A compound assignment expression of the form E1 op= E2 is equivalent to E1 = (T)((E1) op (E2)), where T is the type of E1, except that E1 is evaluated only once.

For example, the following code is correct:

 

short x = 3;
x += 4.6;

and results in x having the value 7 because it is equivalent to:

 

short x = 3;
x = (short)(x + 4.6)

 

 

 

一直不太明白面试题中的这个区别，还是看权威放心些，有些书上把复合赋值运算符翻译为扩展运算符，让人不好理解。
