Arithmetic Operators

                  Arithmetic operators are used  to  perform mathematical  operations  like  addition,  subtraction,
                  multiplication etc.

                             Operator                              Meaning                           Example

                                 +
                                             Add two operands or unary plus                            x + y
                            (Addition)


                                 -
                                             Subtract right operand from the left or unary minus        x - y
                           (Subtraction)

                                 *
                                             Multiply two operands                                     x * y
                          (Multiplication)


                                 /           Divide left operand by the right one
                                                                                                        x / y
                             (Division)       always results into  oat

                                 %           Remainder  of the  division  of left  operand  by  the
                                                                                                       x % y
                            (Modulus)        right (remainder of x/y)


                                //           Division that results into the whole-number adjusted
                                                                                                       x // y
                          (Floor Division)   to the left in the number line

                                **
                                             A type of Multiplication where a value is multiplied
                         (Exponentiation/                                                              x ** y
                                             with itself for a certain number of times
                         Power Operator)

                  Assignment Operators

                  Assignment operators  (=),  are  used to assign values to variables.  It assigns  values from the
                  right-side operands to the left-side operands.

                  Example:
                  a=5
                  This is a statement assignment that assigns value ‘5' to the variable ‘a’ on the left.

                                                                 Notes

                                ‘5=a’ is an incorrect assignment statement, as the values are assigned
                                from the right side to the left side.




                  Comparison Operators

                  Comparison  operators  are  the operators  that compare  the values on either  side  of  the symbol.

                  Depending on their operation, these checks if the two operands satisfy the given condition. Then
                  return either "True" or "False" based on the result.
