In Emojicode, operator assignment provides a short-hand method for modifying the value of variables.

Different compound assignment operators include:

For example:

0 ➡️ 🖍🆕i   💭 i is 0

i ⬅️➕ 1     💭 i is now 1
i ⬅️➕ 5     💭 i is now 6
i ⬅️➗ 3     💭 i is now 2

The variable i is first incremented by one, then by 5, and finally divided by 3.

In the code editor, we have already declared and initialized a variable called level.

Use addition assignment to increment level by 2.

Use subtraction assignment to decrement level by 1.

Print the result of level.
