# Augmented Assign

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `aug-assign`

#### Description:

Replaces assignments with augmented assignments

#### Before:

```python
count = count + other_value
```

#### After:

```python
count += other_value
```

#### Explanation:

Reading the changed code is a bit shorter and clearer - we don't need to think
about the `count` variable twice. Other operators that can be used include `-=`,
`*=`, `/=` and `**=`.

The type you're assigning to has to have the appropriate operator defined, so
Sourcery will only suggestion this change where it can determine the type and it
is suitable. For instance `numpy` arrays do not support the `/=` operation.
