Is there an "and assignment operator" for && and || for shorthand?
To add a value and assign it back to itself, I would do this:
For making that shorthand, I can use the add assignment operator like this:
Is there a shorthand like this for the && and || operator for this?:
I tried the below, the results is not the same as above:
- The result is not the same because x &&= y would not evaluate y if x was false, I assume. There is no short-circuiting compound operator. – Eric Lippert Commented Nov 20, 2015 at 4:51
- 1 Is this question just for knowledge or out of curiosity etc? Because x = x && y; itself is so short to write! – Nikhil Vartak Commented Nov 20, 2015 at 5:05
- how the result is not same? – M.kazem Akhgary Commented Nov 20, 2015 at 6:31

You can see the list of C# operators here .
x &= y – AND assignment. AND the value of y with the value of x, store the result in x, and return the new value. x |= y – OR assignment. OR the value of y with the value of x, store the result in x, and return the new value.
When you say "the results is not the same," can you provide example values of x and y that you're testing? I think what you're observing is the difference between logical/bitwise AND/OR (&/|) and conditional AND/OR (&&/||). The latter will not evaluate y if it doesn't need to in order to figure out the value of the expression. If the evaluation of y has side effects, you would notice a difference between the bitwise and conditional operators.
No, there is not as it doesn't make too much sense.
According to MSDN , there are only the following shortand operators in C#:

C supports a short variant of assignment operator called compound assignment or shorthand assignment. Shorthand assignment operator combines one of the arithmetic or bitwise operators with assignment operator. For example, consider following C statements. The above expression a = a + 2 is equivalent to a += 2.
Different types of assignment operators are shown below: 1. "=": This is the simplest assignment operator. This operator is used to assign the value on the right to the variable on the left. Example: a = 10; b = 20; ch = 'y'; 2. "+=": This operator is combination of '+' and '=' operators. This operator first adds the current ...
Assignment operators are used in programming to assign values to variables. We use an assignment operator to store and update data within a program. They enable programmers to store data in variables and manipulate that data. The most common assignment operator is the equals sign (=), which assigns the value on the right side of the operator to ...
In this video, we'll teach you how to use the shorthand assignment operators in C programming language. These operators allow you to write concise and easy t...
Arithmetical assignment operators are shorthand notations that perform arithmetic operations and assignments in a single step. These operators include: For instance, using +=, you can add a value to a variable without needing a separate assignment statement. Similarly, the other operators work by performing the respective operation and updating ...
Shorthand in C is extremely simple. Any time you are assigning a value of a variable that uses that variable in the assignment you can simplify the syntax. For example: myVar = myVar + 32; This line of code adds 32 to the current value of 'myVar'. But you don't need to type 'myVar' twice. Instead, move the operator (that's the plus ...
a = a+2; can be written as: a += 2; The operator += tells the compiler that a is assigned the value of a + 2; This shorthand works for all binary operators in C. The general form is variable operator = variable / constant / expression. These operators are listed below: C Shorthand Operators. Operators. Example.
The assignment operators in C can both transform and assign values in a single operation. C provides the following assignment operators: | =. In assignment, the type of the right-hand value is converted to the type of the left-hand value, and the value is stored in the left operand after the assignment has taken place.
C also has some shorthand assignment operators. For Example: x=x+y+1 can be written in shorthand form x+=y+1. The shorthand operator += means "add y+1 to x' or 'increment x by y+1'. If y=2 and x=1, then x after execution would become 5. The advantages of using shorthand are: No repetition of left-hand side and thus the readability is good
Assignment operators are used to assigning the result of an expression to a variable. Up to now, we have used the shorthand assignment operator "=", which assigns the result of a right-hand expression to the left-hand variable. For example, in the expression x = y + z, the sum of y and z is assigned to x.
Assignment Operators in C are used to assign values to the variables. They come under the category of binary operators as they require two operands to operate upon. The left side operand is called a variable and the right side operand is the value. The value on the right side of the "=" is assigned to the variable on the left side of "=".

C supports a set of shorthand assignment operators. Following are the advantages of using shorthand assignment operators: Shorthand expression is easier to write as the expression on the left side need not be repeated. The statement involving shorthand operators are easier to read as they are more concise.

Relational Operators. Shorthand Operators are operators that combine one of the arithmetic or bitwise operators with the assignment operator. Shorthand Operators are a shorter way of expressing something that is already available in the programming statements. Expressions or Values can be assigned to the variable using Shorthand Operators.
Assignment Operators in C Language | Shorthand operators in C Language. Assignment/shorthand operators are used to update the value of a variable in an easy way. There are various assignment operators provided by C language.
An example of thee shorthand Java Arithmetic operator is a += 4; for a=a+4; In The Complete Reference, Java 2, Herbert Schildt mentions "they are implemented more efficiently by the Java run-time system than are their equivalent" What makes its implementation more efficient than a=a+4;
A guess: by "shorthand assignment operator" you probably mean operators like `+=' and `*='. (If you mean something else, ignore the rest of this message
Assuming you are using built-in operators on integers, or sanely overloaded operators for user-defined classes, these are the same: a = a | b; a |= b; The '|=' symbol is the bitwise OR assignment operator. It computes the value of OR'ing the RHS ('b') with the LHS ('a') and assigns the result to 'a', but it only evaluates 'a' once while doing so.
You can see the list of C# operators here. x &= y - AND assignment. AND the value of y with the value of x, store the result in x, and return the new value. x |= y - OR assignment. OR the value of y with the value of x, store the result in x, and return the new value.
