Type OperatorSwift

&+=(_:_:)

Adds two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable, wrapping any overflow.

Available because Self conforms to FixedWidthInteger.

static func &+= (lhs: inout Self, rhs: Self)

Parameters

lhs: The first value to add.
rhs: The second value to add.

Overview

The masking addition assignment operator (&+=) silently wraps any overflow that occurs during the operation. In the following example, the sum of 100 and 121 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value, so the result is the partial value after discarding the overflowing bits.

var x: Int8 = 10
x &+= 21
// x == 31
var y: Int8 = 100
y &+= 121
// y == -35 (after overflow)
