Is there an equivalent to the '+=' operator in MATLAB?

Hello,
When I've programmed in C and C++ before I've used the '+=' operator, which is a shorthand way of adding a given value to the current value of a variable without having to restate the original variable on the right-hand side, for example:
x = x + y
can be written as:
x += y
However this doesn't seem to work in MATLAB and produces an incomprehensible error message (at least to me). I looked up an equivalent and found forum posts of people who had migrated from Java (where apparently this is the equivalent of the '++' increment operator in C/C++?). It isn't really important, I'm just wondering if there is any equivalent to the way I have used it above.
Cheers!

No, MATLAB does not have that syntax.
