It's not accurate to call the assignment operator = an equal operator, since it might be confused with the equality operators, eg ==.

For the very same reason changed the Minus Equals wording to characters -= and titled the challenges with its commonly used name: compound or augment assignment (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_assignment)

What do you think of this clarification?

Thanks.
