What is += in Python Programming Language ?

What is the meaning of += in Python 3.8 ?

▪ You know how in English we can rewrite "it is" to be "it's"?

▪ Or we can rewrite "you are" to "you're?

▪ That's called contraction, and this is kind of like a contraction for the two operations = and +.

▪ That means x = x+y is the same as x += y.
