- Addition (+): Adds two values 6. 6
together.
- Subtraction (-): Subtracts one value 7. 7
from another.
- Multiplication (*): Multiplies two 1. x = 9 y = 4
values.
2. result_add= x + y # Addition
Python Operators - Division (/): Divides one value by
another, returns a float. 3. result_sub= x - y #
- Floor Division (//): Divides one value
by another, returns the quotient as an Subtraction
integer.
- Modulo (%): Returns the remainder 4. result_mul= x * y #
after division. Multiplication

5. result_div= x / y # Division

6. result_fdiv= x // y # Floor

Division

7. result_mod= x % y #

Modulo</td>

replace() Replaces substrings. Example:

1. 1

2. 2

1. my_string="Hello"

2. new_text =
