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
