Remainder assignment (%=) - JavaScript | MDN

Remainder assignment (%=)
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The remainder assignment (%=) operator performs remainder on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.
Try it
let a = 3;
console.log((a %= 2));
// Expected output: 1
console.log((a %= 0));
// Expected output: NaN
console.log((a %= "hello"));
// Expected output: NaN
Syntax
js
x %= y
Description
x %= y is equivalent to x = x % y, except that the expression x is only evaluated once.
Examples
Using remainder assignment
js
let bar = 5;
bar %= 2; // 1
bar %= "foo"; // NaN
bar %= 0; // NaN
let foo = 3n;
foo %= 2n; // 1n
