Added JavaScript syntax, corrected capitalization & sentence. (#23684)
* Added JavaScript syntax, corrected sentence. Corrected / Added: The other assignment operators "are usually" shorthand "methods" for performing "standard" operations using the variable (indicated by x above) and value (indicated by y above) and then assigning the result to the variable itself. Added: JavaScript syntax to "Examples" and "Variations" . Corrected: The operator table title by adding an "A" and a capital S to JavaScript. * fix: escaped bitwise OR operator

## Examples
|

|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
let initialVar = 5; // Variable initialization requires the use of an assignment operator
|
||||
|
||||
let newVar = 5;
|
||||
newVar = 6; // Variable values can be modified using an assignment operator
|
||||
|
||||
```

## Variations
|
||||
|
||||
The other assignment operators are a shorthand for performing some operation using the variable (indicated by x above) and value (indicated by y above) and then assigning the result to the variable itself.
|
||||
The other assignment operators are usually shorthand methods for performing standard operations using the variable (indicated by x above) and value (indicated by y above) and then assigning the result to the variable itself.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, below is the syntax for the addition assignment operator:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
x += y;
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
This is the same as applying the addition operator and reassigning the sum to the original variable (i.e., x), which can be expressed by the following code:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
x = x + y;
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
To illustrate this using actual values, here is another example of using the addition assignment operator:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
let myVar = 5; // value of myVar: 5
|
||||
myVar += 7; // value of myVar: 5 + 7 = 12
