Operator *= (Multiply And Assign)

Declare Operator *= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )

lhs *= rhs

lhs
T1
rhs
T2

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.

Dim n As Double
n = 6
n *= 2
Print n
Sleep

Output:

12

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.
