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)
Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common mathematical operations:
Operator | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
+ | Addition | x + y |
- | Subtraction | x - y |
* | Multiplication | x * y |
/ | Division | x / y |
% | Modulus | x % y |
** | Exponentiation | x ** y |
// | Floor division | x // y |
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables:
Operator | Name | Same As |
---|---|---|
= | x = 5 | x = 5 |
+= | x += 3 | x = x + 3 |
-= | x -= 3 | x = x - 3 |
*= | x *= 3 | x = x * 3 |
/= | x /= 3 | x = x / 3 |
%= | x %= 3 | x = x % 3 |
//= | x //= 3 | x = x // 3 |
**= | x **= 3 | x = x ** 3 |
&= | x &= 3 | x = x & 3 |
|= | x |= 3 | x = x | 3 |
^= | x ^= 3 | x = x ^ 3 |
>>= | x >>= 3 | x = x >> 3 |
<<= | x <<= 3 | x = x << 3 |
Comparison operators are used to compare two values:
Operator | Name | Example |
---|---|---|
== | 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 are used to combine conditional statements:
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
and | Returns True if both statements are true | x < 5 and x < 10 |
or | Returns True if one of the statements is true | x < 5 or x < 4 |
not | Reverse the result, returns False if the result is true | not(x < 5 and x < 10) |
