Learning Objectives

• In this chapter, you will learn:

o Basic Arithmetic, modulo, exponentiation, string and list

operators

o String formatting, multiple specifiers and formatting

objects
Arithmetic Operators

• Python supports standard arithmetic operators:

Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/)

Modulus (%), Exponentiation (**)

• Example:

number = 1 + 2 * 3 / 4.0

print(number) # Output: 2.5


Modulo Operator

• Modulo operator (%) returns the remainder of a division:

dividend % divisor

• Example:

remainder = 11 % 3

print(remainder) # Output: 2
Exponentiation Operator

Python used Exponentiation (**) to raise numbers to a power.

• Example:

x = 7 ** 2
y = 2 ** 3
print(x) # Output: 49
print(y) # Output: 8
String Operators

Python supports concatenating strings using the addition operator.

• Example:

helloworld = "hello" + " " + "world“

print(helloworld) # Output: hello world


String Operators

Python also supports multiplying strings to form a string with a

repeating sequence.

• Example:

text = "hello " * 3

print(text) # Output: hello hello hello


Join List with Addition Operator

List can be join or concatenate using the addition operators.

• Example:

even_numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8]

odd_numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7]

all_numbers = odd_numbers + even_numbers

print(all_numbers) # Output: [1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8]


Sorting Lists

• The sort() method sorts the list ascending by default.

• Example:

even_numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8]
all_numbers.sort() #
odd_numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7]
Ascending order

print(all_numbers) # Output: all_numbers = odd_numbers + even_numbers

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] all_numbers.sort(reverse=True)

print(all_numbers)
Repeating Lists

• The * operator to create a new list with repeated elements.

• Example:

print([1, 2, 3] * 3)

# Output: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
String Formatting: Overview

Python uses C-style string formatting to create new, formatted

strings. The "%" operator is used to format a set of variables

enclosed in a "tuple" (a fixed size list), together with a format string,

which contains normal text together with "argument specifiers",

special symbols like "%s" and "%d".


String Formatting: Overview
• Python uses % for formatting strings

• Variables are formatted inside a tuple with format specifiers

• Example:

name = “John”

print("Hello, %s!" % name)

# Output "Hello, John!"


String Formatting: Multiple Specifiers

• Use parentheses to format multiple values

• Example:
name = "John” # String variable for the name
age = 23 # Integer variable for the age
# Formatting the string using % operator
print("%s is %d years old." % (name, age))
# Output John is 23 years old
String Formatting: Formatting Objects

• Any object can be formatted using %s.

• Example:

mylist = [1, 2, 3] # Define a list with three integers

# Format the string using % operator to include the list

print("A list: %s" % mylist) # Output A list: [1, 2, 3]


Basic Argument Specifiers
• %s String (or any object with a string representation, like
numbers)
• %d Integer
• %f Floating point numbers
• %.<number of digits>f Floating point numbers with a fixed
amount of digits to the right of the dot.
• %x / %X Integers in hex representation (lowercase/
uppercase)
