The compact form of all the assignment operations are {operand}=.

int unstable = 25;
unstable -= 5; // Compact Assignment for Subtraction 
unstable++; // Compact Addition without Assignment
unstable--; // Compact Subtraction without Assignment
unstable /= 3; // Compact Division with Assignment

I tried similar unstable =/ 3; but didn't work. This worked. Thank you!
