ARITHMETIC OPERATORS
Arithmetic operators in Python are used for performing mathematical calculations such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operators are essential in programming
for tasks like financial calculations, scientific computing, and data analysis. Python provides a
set of arithmetic operators that work with integers, floating-point numbers, and even complex
numbers.
Some arithmetic operators are as follows:
Example
Operator Name Description (x=7 and y=3) Output
Adds values on either
+ Addition x + y 10
side of the operator
Subtracts right hand
– Subtraction operand from left hand x – y 4
operand
Multiplies values on
* Multiplication either side of the x * y 21
operator
Divides left hand
/ Division operand by right hand x / y 2.3333335
operand
Divides left hand
operand by right hand
% Modulus x % y 1
operand and returns
the remainder
Performs exponential
** Exponentiation (power) calculation on x ** y 343
operands
Divides and returns the
Floor or Integer
// integer part from the x // y 2
division
result.
