The various “operator equals” operators, such as += and -=, are implementable via various traits. For example, to implement += on a type of your own:

use std::ops::AddAssign;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Count { 
    value: i32,
}

impl AddAssign for Count {
    fn add_assign(&mut self, other: Count) {
        self.value += other.value;
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut c1 = Count { value: 1 };
    let c2 = Count { value: 5 };

    c1 += c2;

    println!("{:?}", c1);
}

This will print Count { value: 6 }.
