Answer
Augmented assignment operators combine the impact of an arithmetic operator with an assignment operator. For example, to add the value of b to the value of a and assign the result back to a then instead of writing:
a = a + b
we can write
a += b.
Augmented assignment operators are useful as they provide a shorthand way by combining the arithmetic and assignment operators.
