What is the equivalent to += in Matlab?

Question

Is it possible in Matlab to increment a value of a variable without restating it on the right hand side of the statement?

Answer 1

MatLab doesn't have compound assignment, but the open-source clone Octave does.

Answer 2

AFAIK, there's no such thing in MATLAB.

And this is understandable(look at Steven Lord's answer, post 11).

That post indicates that since MATLAB is array based, such operator would be ambiguous and unintuitive, at best.
