multiplies a variable by a value (e.g., counter *= 2).
choose an answer
1 *=
2 counter
3 |
4 index

Explanation:

In programming, the = operator is used to multiply a variable by a value. For example, if counter has a value of 3 and we do counter = 2, the new value of counter will be \(3\times2 = 6\). The other options: Counter is a variable name (not an operator), | is a bitwise OR operator (not for multiplication - assignment), and Index is a general term (e.g., for array indices, not an operator for the described operation).

Answer:

1. *=
