operators in python

Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values. There are 7 types of basic operators in python. They are as folluws :

• Arithmetic operators
• Assignment operators
• Comparison operators
• Logical operators
• Identity operators
• Membership operators
• Bitwise operators

Python Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
+	Addition	Adds values on either side of the operator	a+b
-	Subtraction	Subtracts values on either side of the operator	a-b
*	Multiplication	Multiplies values on either side of the operator	a*b
/	Division	Divides values on either side of the operator	a/b
%	Modulus	Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder	a%b
**	Exponentiation	Performs exponential calculation on operators	a**b
//	Floor Division	The division of operands where the result is quotient in which the digits after the decimal points are removed.	a//b

Python Assignment Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
=	Equal	Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand	a=b
+=	Addition And	Adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand	a+=b
-=	Subtraction And	Subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand	a-=b
*=	Multiplication And	Multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand	a*=b
/=	Division And	Divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand	a/=b
%=	Modulus And	Takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand	a%=b
**=	Exponent And	Performs exponential calculation on operators and assign value to the left of the operand	a**=b
//=	Floor Division	Performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left of the operand	a//=b

Python Comparison Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
==	Double Equal to	True if LHS=RHS	a==b
!=	Not equal to	True if LHS not equal to RHS	a!=b
<	Less than	True if LHS less than RHS	a<b
>	Greater than	True if LHS greater than RHS	a>b
<=	Less than or equal to	True if LHS less than or equal to RHS	a<=b
>=	Greater than or equal to	True if LHS greater than or equal to RHS	a>=b
<>	Not Equal to	Same as !=	a<>b

Python Logical Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
and	Logical AND	True if both operands are true	a and b
or	Logical OR	True if one of the statement is true	a or b
not	Logical NOT	True if the result is false	a not b

Python Identity Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
is	is	True if both variables point to the same object	a is b
is not	is not	False if both variables point to the same object	a is not b

Python Membership Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
in	is	True if it finds a variable in the specified sequence	a in b
not in	is not	True if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence	a not in b

Python Bitwise Operators

Operator	Name	Description	eg:
&	AND	Sets each bit to 1 if both bits are 1	a==b
|	OR	Sets each bit to 1 if one of two bits are 1	a!=b
^	XOR	Sets each bit to 1 if only one of two bits is 1	a<b
~	NOT	Inverts all the bits	a>b
<<	Left Shift	Shifts left by pushing zero in from right and let the leftmost bits fall off	a<=b
>>	Right Shift	Shifts right by pushing copies of the leftmost bit in from the left, and let the rightmost bits fall off	a>=b
