    %= Do modulo and assign.
    += Do addition and assign.
    2 square is pow(2, 2) [function]
    a ? b You probably saw something like a ? b : c, which means if a is true, return b, otherwise c. It's an if shortcut.

    is 2 square is 2**2
    there is no operator as **.instead a power function is present in c.
    eg
    pow(m,n)//calculates m raised to the power n
    and wht does a%=b does it a have difference from a%b
    this means a=a%b where % is the modulo operator which gives the remainder of a/b;
    similarly a+=b means a=a+b;
    a?b doesn't do anything.it must be a?b:c where ?: is a ternary operator which means if a is true retun b else return c.
