Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators can be used in Python to perform various arithmetic operations on numeric values and variables.
| Operator |
Description |
Example |
+ |
Addition |
3 + 5 = 8 |
- |
Subtraction |
7 - 2 = 5 |
* |
Multiplication |
4 * 3 = 12 |
/ |
Division |
10 / 2 = 5.0 |
// |
Floor Division |
10 // 3 = 3 |
% |
Modulus (Remainder) |
10 % 3 = 1 |
** |
Exponentiation |
2 ** 3 = 8 |
+= |
Increment |
x += 5 |
-= |
Decrement |
x -= 3 |
*= |
Multiplication Assignment |
x *= 2 |
/= |
Division Assignment |
x /= 4 |
Examples
# Addition
result = 5 + 3
print(result) # 8
# Subtraction
result = 7 - 2
print(result) # 5
# Multiplication
result = 4 * 3
print(result) # 12
# Division
result = 10 / 2
print(result) # 5.0
# Floor Division
result = 10 // 3
print(result) # 3
# Modulus (Remainder)
result = 10 % 3
print(result) # 1
# Exponentiation
result = 2 ** 3
print(result) # 8
# Increment
x = 5
x += 1
print(x) # 6
# Decrement
y = 7
y -= 1
print(y) # 6
# Multiplication Assignment
z = 4
z *= 3
print(z) # 12
# Division Assignment
w = 10
w /= 2
print(w) # 5.0
Relational Operators
Relational operators in Python are used to compare values and determine the relationship between them. These operators return Boolean values (True or False) based on the comparison result. Here are the relational operators in Python:
| Operator |
Description |
Example |
== |
Equal to |
5 == 5 |
!= |
Not equal to |
5 != 3 |
> |
Greater than |
7 > 3 |
< |
Less than |
2 < 4 |
>= |
Greater than or equal to |
6 >= 4 |
<= |
Less than or equal to |
3 <= 3 |
These operators can be used to compare numeric values, strings, variables, or expressions. The result of the comparison is a Boolean value indicating whether the comparison is true or false.
Examples
x = 5
y = 7
print(x == y) # False
print(x != y) # True
print(x > y) # False
print(x < y) # True
print(x >= y) # False
print(x <= y) # True
Logical Operators
Logical operators in Python are used to combine or manipulate Boolean values (True or False). These operators allow you to perform logical operations and make decisions based on multiple conditions.
| Operator |
Description |
and |
Returns True if both operands are True |
or |
Returns True if at least one operand is True |
not |
Returns the opposite Boolean value of the operand |
These operators are used to combine or manipulate Boolean values and are commonly used in conditional statements, loops, and Boolean expressions.
Examples
# Example 1
x = 5
y = 7
z = 3
result = (x < y) and (y < z)
print(result) # False
# Example 2
x = 5
y = 7
z = 3
result = (x < y) or (y < z)
print(result) # True
# Example 3
x = 5
result = not (x < 10)
print(result) # False
