Remainder Assignment(%=) Operator in Javascript

The Remainder Assignment Operator in javascript is represented by “%=”. This operator is used to divide the value of the variable by another operand and assign the remainder to the variable which is the first operand. This can be also explained as assigning the remainder to the first operand which is obtained by dividing the variable from the second operand.
