Inline operations in Python are a shorthand way of modifying a variable's value using an operator and assigning the result back to the same variable. They can be used with arithmetic, bitwise, and logical operators, and are a convenient way to update a variable's value without having to reassign it.

Here's an example of using inline operations with arithmetic operators:

x = 10
x += 5  # equivalent to x = x + 5
x *= 2  # equivalent to x = x * 2
print(x)  # Output: 30

In this example, the += and *= operators are used to add 5 and then double the value of x, respectively.

Here's an example of using inline operations with bitwise operators:

x = 0b1100
x &= 0b1010  # equivalent to x = x & 0b1010
x ^= 0b0110  # equivalent to x = x ^ 0b0110
print(bin(x))  # Output: 0b0010

In this example, the &= and ^= operators are used to perform a bitwise AND and XOR operation, respectively, and assign the result back to x.

Here's an example of using inline operations with logical operators:

x = True
y = False
x |= y  # equivalent to x = x | y
y &= x  # equivalent to y = y & x
print(x, y)  # Output: True False

In this example, the |= and &= operators are used to perform a logical OR and AND operation, respectively, and assign the result back to x and y.

Inline operations can be useful when you want to update the value of a variable in a concise and readable way. However, it's important to use them judiciously and avoid writing code that is difficult to understand or maintain.
