								Computers read from left to right. So, using the '-=' operator means that the variable is subtracted by the number on the right, then the variable is assigned to the difference. Like so:

| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    var b = 10;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    b -= 4; // Now, 'b' is 6
