Operators in python

int213
The modulus operator
• The modulus operator works on integers (and integer expressions)
and yields the remainder when the first operand is divided by the
second.
• In Python, the modulus operator is a percent sign (%).
Example
• The syntax is the same as for other operators:
>>> quotient = 7 / /3
>>> print (quotient)
2
>>> remainder = 7 % 3
>>> print (remainder)
1
• So 7 divided by 3 is 2 with 1 left over.
Uses
• Check whether one number is divisible by another if x % y is zero,
then x is divisible by y.
• you can extract the right-most digit or digits from a number.
• For example,
x % 10 yields the right-most digit of x (in base 10). Similarly x %
100 yields the last two digits.
Boolean expressions
• A Boolean expression is an expression that is either true or false.
• One way to write a Boolean expression is to use the operator ==, which
compares two values and produces a Boolean value:
>>> 5 == 5
True
>>> 5 == 6
False
• True and False are special values that are built into Python.
Comparison Operators
• x != y
# x is not equal to y
• x>y #
x is greater than y
• x<y #
x is less than y
• x >= y
# x is greater than or equal to y
• x <= y
# x is less than or equal to y
NOTE: “= is an assignment operator and == is a comparison operator”. Also,
there is no such thing as =< or =>.
Logical operators
• There are three logical operators:
 and,
 or
 not
• For example, x > 0 and x < 10 is true only if x is greater than 0 and less
than 10.
• n%2 == 0 or n%3 == 0
• not(x > y) is true if (x > y) is false, that is, if x is less than or equal to y.
Identity operators
• Identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects.
There are two Identity operators as explained below
Bitwise Operators
Membership Operators
Continue…
• Any nonzero number is interpreted as “true."
>>> x = 5
>>> x and 1
1
>>> y = 0
>>> y and 1
0
Keyboard Input
• input(): built in function to get data from keyboard.
• Takes data in the form of string.
• Eg:
>>> input1 = input ()
What are you waiting for?
>>> print (input1)
What are you waiting for?
• Before calling input, it is a good idea to print a message telling the user
what to input. This message is called a prompt.
• A prompt can be supplied as an argument to input.
• Eg:
>>> name = input ("What...is your name? ")
What...is your name? Arthur, King of the Britons!
>>> print(name)
Arthur, King of the Britons!
• If we expect the response to be an integer, then type conversion needs
to be done.
• Eg:
prompt = "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
speed =int(input(prompt))
