Operator *= (Multiply And Assign)
Multiplies and assigns a value to a variable
Syntax
`
Declare Operator *= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )
`
Usage
`
lhs *= rhs
`
Parameters
`lhs`
The variable to assign to.
`T1`
Any numeric type.
`rhs`
The value to multiply `lhs` by.
`T2`
Any numeric type.
Description
This operator multiplies and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:
`lhs = lhs * rhs`
The right-hand side expression (`rhs`) will be converted to the left-hand side type (`T1`).
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member `Operator` using the appropriate syntax.
Example
`
Dim n As Double
n = 6
n *= 2
Print n
Sleep
`
Output:

    12
