Operators in Python are used to perform operations on variables
and values. They are divided into the following groups:

Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform
common mathematical operations.
Syntax Description Example
+ Addition 3+4
- Subtraction 1-5
* Multiplication 5*6
/ Division 7/2
% Modulus 5%1
** Exponentiation 8 ** 3
// Floor division 3 // 8
Assignment Operators
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

Syntax Example Same as
= x=5 x=5
+= x += 3 x=x+3
-= x -= 3 x=x-3
*= x *= 3 x=x*3
/= x /= 3 x=x/3
%= x %= 3 x=x%3
//= x //= 3 x = x // 3
**= x **= 3 x = x ** 3
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two or more variables.

Syntax Description Example
== Equal x == y
!= Not equal x != y
> Greater than x>y
< Less than x<y
>= Greater than or equal to x >= y
<= Less than or equal to x <= y
Logical Operators
Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements.
Syntax Description Example
and Returns True if both statements x < 5 and x < 10
are true
or Returns True if one of the x < 5 or x < 4
statements is true
not Reverses the result not(x < 5 and x <
10)
stable
Identity Operators
Identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects.
Syntax Description Example
is Returns True if both variables are the same x is y
object
is not Returns True if both variables are not the x is not y
same object
Membership Operators
Membership operators test if a sequence is present in an object.
Syntax Description Example
in Returns True if a sequence with the x in y
specified value is present in the object
not in Returns True if a sequence with the x not in
specified value is not present in the object y
