| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| + Addition | Adds values on either side of the operator. | a + b = 30 |
| – Subtraction | Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand. | a – b = -10 |
| * Multiplication | Multiplies values on either side of the operator | a * b = 200 |
| / Division | Divides left hand operand by right hand operand | b / a = 2 |
| % Modulus | Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder | b % a = 0 |
| ** Exponent | Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators | a**b =10 to the power 20 |
| // | Floor Division – integer division | 9//2 = 4 and 9.0//2.0 = 4.0, -11//3 = -4, -11.0//3 = -4.0 |
Comparison Operators
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| > | Greater that – True if left operand is greater than the right | x > y |
| < | Less that – True if left operand is less than the right | x < y |
| == | Equal to – True if both operands are equal | x == y |
| != | Not equal to – True if operands are not equal | x != y |
| >= | Greater than or equal to – True if left operand is greater than or equal to the right | x >= y |
| <= | Less than or equal to – True if left operand is less than or equal to the right | x <= y |
Python Logical Operators
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| and | True if both the operands are true | x and y |
| or | True if either of the operands is true | x or y |
| not | True if operand is false (complements the operand) | not x |
Identity Operators
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| is | True if the operands are identical (refer to the same object) | x is True |
| is not | True if the operands are not identical (do not refer to the same object) | x is not True |
Membership Operators
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| in | True if value/variable is found in the sequence | 5 in x |
| not in | True if value/variable is not found in the sequence | 5 not in x |
Assignment operators
| Operator | Example | Equivalent to |
|---|---|---|
| = | x = 5 | x = 5 |
| += | x += 5 | x = x + 5 |
| -= | x -= 5 | x = x – 5 |
| *= | x *= 5 | x = x * 5 |
| /= | x /= 5 | x = x / 5 |
| %= | x %= 5 | x = x % 5 |
| //= | x //= 5 | x = x // 5 |
| **= | x **= 5 | x = x ** 5 |
| &= | x &= 5 | x = x & 5 |
| |= | x |= 5 | x = x | 5 |
| ^= | x ^= 5 | x = x ^ 5 |
| >>= | x >>= 5 | x = x >> 5 |
| <<= | x <<= 5 | x = x << 5 |
