7. PYTHON – OPERATORS
1. Operator
✓ An operator is a symbol that performs an operation.
✓ An operator acts on some variables, those variables are called as
operands.
✓ If an operator acts on a single operand, then it is called as unary operator
✓ If an operator acts on 2 operands, then it is called as binary operator.
✓ If an operator acts on 3 operands, then it is called as ternary operator.
Program operator and operands
Name demo1.py
a = 10
b = 20
c=a+b
print(c)
output
30
✓ Here a, b and c are called as operands.
✓ + symbol is called as operator.
2. Type of operators
✓ Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, **, //
✓ Assignment Operator =
✓ Unary minus Operator -
✓ Relational Operator >, <, >=, <=, ==, ! =
✓ Logical Operators and, or, not
✓ Membership operators in, not in

Data Science – Python Operators
Make a note:
✓ Python does not have increment and decrement operators.
1. Arithmetic Operators: (+, -, *, /, %, **, //)
✓ These operators will do their usual job, so please don’t expect any
surprises.
Assume that,
a = 13
b=5
Operator Meaning Example Result
+ Addition a+b 18
- Subtraction a-b 8
* Multiplication a*b 65
/ Division a/b 2.6
% Modulus a%b 3
(Remainder of
division)
** Exponent a ** b 371293
operator
(exponential
power value)

Data Science – Python Operators
// Integer division a // b 2
(gives only integer
quotient)
Make a note
✓ Division operator / always performs floating point arithmetic, so it
returns float values.
✓ Floor division (//) can perform both floating point and integral as well,
o If values are int type, then result is int type.
o If at least one value is float type, then result is float type.
Program Arithmetic Operators
Name demo2.py
a = 13
b=5
print(a+b)
print(a-b)
print(a*b)
print(a/b)
print(a%b)
print(a**b)
print(a//b)
Output
18
8
65
2.6

2. Assignment operator: (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, **=, //=)
✓ By using these operators, we can assign values to variables.
Assume that,
a = 13
Operator Example Equals to Result
= a = 13 a = 13 13
+= a += 6 a=a+6 19
-= a -= 6 a=a-6 7
Program Assignment operator
Name demo3.py
a = 13
print(a)
a += 5
print(a)
Output
13
18

3. Unary minus operator: (-)
✓ Symbol of unary minus operator is –
Program Unary minus operator
Name demo4.py
a = 10
print(a)
print(-a)
Output
10
-10

4. Relational operators (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=)
✓ By using these operators, we can create simple conditions.
✓ These operators are used to compare two values.
✓ These operators’ returns result as Boolean type either True or False.
Assume that,
a = 13
b=5
Operator Example Result
> a>b True
>= a >= b True
< a<b False
<= a <= b False
== a == b False
!= a != b True

Program Relational operators
Name demo4.py
a = 13
b=5
print(a > b)
print(a >= b)
print(a < b)
print(a <= b)
print(a == b)
print(a != b)
Output
True
True
False
False
False
True

5. Logical operators (and, or, not)
✓ In python there are three logical operators those are,
o and
o or
o not
✓ Logical operators are useful to create compound conditions.
✓ Compound condition is a combination of more than one simple
condition.
✓ Each simple condition brings the Boolean result finally the total
compound condition evaluates either True or False.
For Boolean types behaviour
✓ and
o If both arguments are True, then only result is True
✓ or
o If at least one argument is True, then result is True
✓ not
o complement
Program Logical operators.
Name demo5.py
a = True
b = False
print(a and a)
print(a or b)
print(not a)
Output
True
True
False

Program Logical operators
Name demo7.py
a=1
b=2
c=3
print((a>b) and (b>c))
print((a<b) and (b<c))
Output
False
True

6. Membership operators (in, not in)
✓ There are two membership operators,
o in
o not in
✓ Membership operators are useful to check whether the given value is
available in sequence or not. (It may be string, list, set, tuple and dict)
The in operator
✓ in operator returns True, if element is found in the collection or
sequences.
✓ in operator returns False, if element is not found in the collection or
sequences.
The not in operator
✓ not in operator returns True, if an element is not found in the sequence.
✓ not in operator returns False, if an element is found in the sequence.
Program in, not in operators
Name demo8.py
values = [10, 20, 30]
print(20 in values)
print(22 in values)
output
True
False
