 Today’s Agenda

• Operators In Python
• Types Of Operators

• Arithmetic Operators

• Special points about + and *

• Difference between / and //

 Operators

• Operators are special symbols in that carry out

different kinds of computation on values.

• For example : 2+3

• In the expression 2+3 , + is an operator which

performs addition of 2 and 3 , which are called
operands
 Types Of Operators
In Python

• Python provides us 7 types of operators:

• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational or Comparison Operators
• Logical Operators
• Assignment Operator
• Bitwise Operators
• Identity Operators
• Membership Operators
 Arithmetic Operators
In Python

• In Python , we have 7 arithmetic operators and they are as below:

+
(Arithmetic Addition)
-
(Subtraction)
*
(Arithmetic Multiplication)
/
(Float Division)
%
(Modulo Division)
//
(Floor Division)
**
(Power or Exponentiation)
 The 5 Basic Arithmetic
Operators

mymath.py
a=10
b=4
print("sum of",a,"and",b,"is",a+b)
print("diff of",a,"and",b,"is",a-b)
print("prod of",a,"and",b,"is",a*b)
print("div of",a,"and",b,"is",a/b)
print("rem of",a,“and",b,"is",a%b)
 The 5 Basic Arithmetic
Operators

The Output:
 Two Special
Operators // and **

• The operator // in Python is called as floor division.

• Means it returns the integer part and not the

decimal part.

• For example: 5//2 will be 2 not 2.5

 Two Special
Operators // and **

• But there are 3 very important points to understand

about this operator

• When used with positive numbers the result is only the

integer part of the actual answer i.e. , the decimal part is
truncated

• However if one of the operands is negative, the result is

floored.

• If both the operands are integers , result will also be integer

,otherwise result will be float
 The Floor Division Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=10.0
a=10
b=4
b=4 print(a//b)
print(a//b)

• Output:
• Output: 2.0
2

If both the operands are integers , the result is also

an integer . But if any of the operands is float the result
is also float
 The Floor Division Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=97
a=97
b=10.0
b=10 print(a//b)
print(a//b)

• Output:
• Output: 9.0
9
 The Floor Division Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=19
a=-10
b=-2
b=4 print(a//b)
print(a//b)

• Output:
• Output: -10
-3
 The Floor Division Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=-19
a=-10
b=-2
b=-4 print(a//b)
print(a//b)

• Output:
• Output: 9
2
 An Important Point

• There is another very important point to remember

about the 3 operators / , // and %

• The point is that if the denominator in these

operators is 0 or 0.0 , then Python will throw the
exception called ZeroDivisionError
 Division By 0

• Example: • Example:
a=10
a=10
b=0.0
b=0 print(a/b)
print(a/b)

• Output:
• Output: ZeroDivisionError
ZeroDivisionError
 Division By 0

• Example: • Example:
a=10
a=10
b=0.0
b=0 print(a//b)
print(a//b)

• Output:
• Output: ZeroDivisionError
ZeroDivisionError
 Division By 0

• Example: • Example:
a=10
a=10
b=0.0
b=0 print(a%b)
print(a%b)

• Output:
• Output: ZeroDivisionError
ZeroDivisionError
 The power (**)Operator

• The power operator i.e. ** performs exponential

(power) calculation on operands.

• For example:
a=10
b=3
print(a**b)

• Output:
1000
 Double Role Of The
Operator +

• The operator + as discussed earlier also ,has 2 roles in

Python

• When used with numbers , it performs addition and

when used with strings it performs concatenation

• For example:
a=10
a=“Good”
b=5 b=“Evening”
print(a+b) print(a+b)
Output: Output:
GoodEvening
15
 Double Role Of The
Operator +

• Example: • Example:
a=“Good”
a=“Good”
b=“10”
b=10 print(a+b)
print(a+b)

• Output:
• Output: Good10
TypeError
 Double Role Of The
Operator *

• The operator * also has 2 roles in Python

• When used with numbers , it performs

multiplication and when used with one operand
string and other operand int it performs
repetition

• For example:
a=10 a=“Sachin”
b=5 b=3
print(a*b) print(a*b)
Output: Output:
50 SachinSachinSachin
 The * Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=“Sachin”
a=5
b=3.0
b=4.0 print(a*b)
print(a*b)

• Output:
• Output: Type Error :
20.0 Can’t multiply
by non int
 The * Operator

• Example: • Example:
a=“Sachin”
a=“Sachin”
b=“Kapoor”
b=3 print(a*b)
print(b*a)

• Output:
• Output: Type Error :
SachinSachinSachin Can’t multiply
by non int
