OPERATORS


                 In  Python,  operators can be  defined  as special symbols which  perform arithmetic and  logical
                 computation on variables and values. The values which the operators use to get the output are called
                 operands. For example, in the expression 10 – 5, 10 and 5 are operands and the minus (–) sign is the
                 operator. There are various types of operators in Python. Let us discuss about them one by one.
                 Python has the following categories of operators:


                 Arithmetic Operators
                 Arithmetic operators perform arithmetic operations between two operands. The arithmetic operators
                 are defined in the following table:

                  Operator        Name                         Description                       Example        Output
                                                                                              (int x=7 and y=3)

                 +            Addition         Adds values on either side of the operator           x + y          10
                 –            Subtraction      Subtracts right hand operand from left               x – y          4
                                               hand operand

                 *            Multiplication   Multiplies values on either side of the              x * y          21
                                               operator
                 /            Division         Divides left hand operand by right hand              x / y         2.33
                                               operand
                 %            Modulus          Divides left hand operand by right hand             x % y           1
                                               operand and returns remainder

                 **           Exponentiation Performs exponential (power) calculation              x ** y         343
                                               on operands
                 //           Floor or Integer  Divides and cuts the fractional part from          x // y          2
                              division         the result
