# +=(_:_:)

Adds two values and stores the result in the left-hand-side variable.

## Declaration

```swift
static func += (lhs: inout UInt32, rhs: UInt32)
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: The first value to add.
- `rhs`: The second value to add.

## Discussion

Discussion The sum of the two arguments must be representable in the arguments’ type. In the following example, the result of 21 + 120 is greater than the maximum representable Int8 value: var x: Int8 = 21 x += 120 // Overflow error note: Overflow checking is not performed in -Ounchecked builds.
