Type OperatorSwift

    &*=(_:_:)

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

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

    Parameters

    lhs

    The first value to multiply.

    rhs

    The second value to multiply.

    Overview

    The masking multiplication assignment operator (&*=) silently wraps any overflow that occurs during the operation. In the following example, the product of 10 and 50 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 &*= 5
// x == 50
var y: Int8 = 10
y &*= 50
// y == -12 (after overflow)
