Python Operators Demystified

Python operators are symbols that perform operations on variables and values. They are used in various programming tasks, including arithmetic calculations, comparisons, logical operations, and more. Here's a detailed look at the different types of Python operators:

1. Arithmetic Operators Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations.

• + (Addition): Adds two operands.

  x = 5 + 3   x will be 8

• - (Subtraction): Subtracts the second operand from the first.

  x = 5 - 3   x will be 2

• (Multiplication): Multiplies two operands. python x = 5 3 x will be 15 ``
• / (Division): Divides the first operand by the second. `python x = 5 / 2 x will be 2.5 `
• % (Modulus): Returns the remainder of the division. `python x = 5 % 2 x will be 1 `
• `` (Exponentiation): Raises the first operand to the power of the second.

  x = 2  3   x will be 8

• // (Floor Division): Divides the first operand by the second and returns the largest integer less than or equal to the result.

  x = 5 // 2   x will be 2

1. Comparison Operators Comparison operators compare two values and return a boolean value (True or False).

• == (Equal): Returns True if both operands are equal.

  x = (5 == 3)   x will be False

• != (Not Equal): Returns True if operands are not equal.

  x = (5 != 3)   x will be True

• > (Greater Than): Returns True if the left operand is greater than the right.

  x = (5 > 3)   x will be True

• < (Less Than): Returns True if the left operand is less than the right.

  x = (5 < 3)   x will be False

• >= (Greater Than or Equal To): Returns True if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right.

  x = (5 >= 3)   x will be True

• <= (Less Than or Equal To): Returns True if the left operand is less than or equal to the right.

  x = (5 <= 3)   x will be False

1. Logical Operators Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements.

• and: Returns True if both statements are true.

  x = (5 > 3 and 5 < 10)   x will be True

• or: Returns True if one of the statements is true.

  x = (5 > 3 or 5 < 3)   x will be True

• not: Reverses the result, returns False if the result is true.

  x = not(5 > 3)   x will be False

1. Assignment Operators Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

• =: Assigns a value to a variable.

  x = 5

• +=: Adds and assigns the result.

  x += 3   x will be 8 if x was 5

• -=: Subtracts and assigns the result.

  x -= 3   x will be 2 if x was 5

• =: Multiplies and assigns the result.

  x = 3   x will be 15 if x was 5

• /=: Divides and assigns the result.

  x /= 3   x will be 1.6667 if x was 5

• %=: Takes modulus and assigns the result.

python
  x %= 3   x will be 2 if
