A y is multiplied by 3 ✔ ✖
B y is divided by 3 ✔ ✖
C y is decremented by 3 ✔ ✖
D y is incremented by 3 ✔ ✖

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

The compound assignment operator (*=) in Java is used to multiply the right operand by the left operand and assign the result to the left operand. In this case, y *= 3 is equivalent to y = y * 3.


public class CompoundAssignmentExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Define the initial value of y
        int y = 5;

        // Use the compound assignment with multiplication (y *= 3)
        y *= 3;

        // Display the result
        System.out.println("Value of y after y *= 3: " + y);
    }
}

When you run this program, it will output:


Value of y after y *= 3: 15
