There is actually a difference between a = a+ b and a += b. If you are doing this on a mutable object (like a list) the first one creates a new object and the second one mutates the original one. Usually this doesn't matter but if you don't know about it, it can be a bug that's very hard to find.

a %= b is the same as a = a % b It works the same way for all of them
