Python Operators
- An operator is a symbol that tells the computer to perform certain mathematical or logical manipulation on data stored in variables. The variables that are operated are termed operands.
- operators can be classified into a number of categories.
- Arithmetic operators
- Assignment operators
- Comparison operators
- Logical operators
- Identity operators
- Membership operators
- Bitwise operators
Arithmetic operators
Python provides all the basic arithmetic operators. There are five arithmetic operators in python.
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| + | Addition |
| – | Substation |
| * | Multiplication |
| / | Division |
| % | Modules (Remainder after integer division) |
| ** | Exponentiation |
| // | Floor division |
Example
Addition of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x + y)
Output
11
Example
Substation of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x - y)
Output
5
Example
Multiplication of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x * y)
Output
24
Example
Division of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x / y)
Output
2.66666666666665
Example
Modules of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x % y)
Output
2
Example
Exponentiation of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x ** y)
Output
512
Example
Floor division of two number
x = 8
y = 3
print(x // y)
Output
2
