Python Operators

Python Operators

Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values. Python divides the operators in the following groups:

• Arithmetic operators
• Assignment operators
• Comparison operators
• Logical operators
• Identity operators
• Membership operators
• Bitwise operators

Arithmetic Operators

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

• + - Addition (x + y)
• - - Subtraction (x - y)
• * - Multiplication (x * y)
• / - Division (x / y)
• % - Modulus (x % y)
• ** - Exponentiation (x ** y)
• // - Floor division (x // y)

Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables:

x = 5
x += 3  # Same as x = x + 3
x -= 3  # Same as x = x - 3
x *= 3  # Same as x = x * 3
x /= 3  # Same as x = x / 3

Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values:

• == - Equal (x == y)
• != - Not equal (x != y)
• > - Greater than (x > y)
• < - Less than (x < y)
• >= - Greater than or equal to (x >= y)
• <= - Less than or equal to (x <= y)

Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements:

• and - Returns True if both statements are true
• or - Returns True if one of the statements is true
• not - Reverse the result, returns False if the result is true
