Operators In Python

Python’s Operators

Operators are special symbols in Python that

carry out arithmetic or logical computation.

Type of operators in Python:

Arithmetic operators
Comparison operators
Logical operators
Assignment operators
Membership operators
 Arithmetic operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform

mathematical operations like addition,
subtraction, multiplication etc.
Example Meaning Operator

x+y Addition operation +

x-y Subtraction operation -
x*y Multiplication operation *
x/y Division operation(always result in /
float)
x%y Modulus(remainder) operation %
x//y Integer Division Operator //
x**y Exponentiation operation **
Example:
x=15
y=4 output
print(x+y) 19
print(x-y) 11
print(x*y) 60
print(x/y)
3.75
print(x%y)
3
print(x//y)
3
print(x**y)
50625
 Comparison operators

Comparison operators are used to compare

values. It either returns True or False
according to the condition.
Example Meaning Operator

x>y Greater than >

x<y Less than <
x>=y Greater than or equal =>
x<=y Less than or equal =<
x==y equal ==
x!=y Not equal
=!
Example:
x=10
y=30 Output

print(x>y) False

print(x<y) True

print(x>=y) False
print(x<=y) True
print(x==y) False
print(x!=y)
True
 Logical operators

Logical operators are used to connect the

comparison operators
Example Description
Operator

x>z and x>y Become true if the two condition

and
are true, otherwise become false
x>z or x>y Become false if the two condition
or
are false, otherwise become true
not x>=y Become true if the condition
false and become false if the not
condition true
Example:
x=10
y=5
Output
z=30
True
print(x>y and z>x)
True
print(x<y or y<z)
False
print(not x>y)
 Assignment operators

Assignment operators are used in Python to

assign values to variables.
equivalent to Example Operator

x=5 x=5 =

x=x+5 x+=5 =+

x=x-5 x-=5 =-

x=x*5 x*=5 =*

x=x/5 x/=5 =/

x=x%5 x%=5 =%

x=x//5 x//=5 =//

x=x**5 x**=5 =**

Example:
x=5
x+=10 Output
print(x)
15
x//=2
7
print(x)
x%=4 3

print(x) 27

x**=3
print(x)
 Membership operators

Membership operators are used to test whether a

value or variable is found in a sequence (string, list,
tuple, set and dictionary).

Example Meaning Operator

in x 5 True if value/variable is found in the sequence in

not in x 5 True if value/variable is not found in the not in

sequence
Example:
x=“hello python”
y=[3,8,1,4] Output

print(“h”in x) True

print(“py”not in x) False

print(3 in y) True

print(9 not in y) True

print([1] in y) False
