Python Operators

Python Operators

Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.

In the example below, we use the + operator to add together two values:

Example

 
print(10 + 5)

Python divides the operators in the following groups:

Python Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common mathematical operations:

Python Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables:

Python Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values:

Python Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements:

Python Identity Operators

Identity operators are used to compare the objects, not if they are equal, but if they are actually the same object, with the same memory location:

Python Membership Operators

Membership operators are used to test if a sequence is presented in an object:

Python Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators are used to compare (binary) numbers:

Python Operators

Python Operators in general are used to perform operations on values and variables. These are standard symbols used for the purpose of logical and arithmetic operations. In this article, we will look into different types of Python operators. 

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.OperatorDescriptionSyntax+Addition: adds two operandsx + y–Subtraction: subtracts two operandsx – y*Multiplication: multiplies two operandsx * y/Division (float): divides the first operand by the secondx / y//Division (floor): divides the first operand by the secondx // y%Modulus: returns the remainder when first operand is divided by the secondx % y**Power : Returns first raised to power secondx ** y

 # Examples of Arithmetic Operator
a =9
b =4
 
# Addition of numbers
add =a +b
 
# Subtraction of numbers
sub =a -b
 
# Multiplication of number
mul =a *b
 
# Division(float) of number
div1 =a /b
 
# Division(floor) of number
div2 =a //b
 
# Modulo of both number
mod =a %b
 
# Power
p =a **b
 
# print results
print(add)
print(sub)
print(mul)
print(div1)
print(div2)
print(mod)
print(p)
