operators in python

Fast answer

In Python, operators are special symbols used to perform operations on variables and values. Here’s a clear
breakdown of the main types:

🔢 1. Arithmetic Operators
Used for mathematical operations.
Operator Meaning Example

+ Addition 5 + 2 = 7

- Subtraction 5 - 2 = 3

* Multiplication 5 * 2 = 10

/ Division 5 / 2 = 2.5

// Floor division 5 // 2 = 2

% Modulus (remainder) 5 % 2 = 1

Operator Meaning Example

** Exponent 5 ** 2 = 25

🔍 2. Comparison Operators
Used to compare values (returns True or False ).

Operator Meaning Example

== Equal 5 == 5 → True

!= Not equal 5 != 2 → True

> Greater than 5 > 2 → True

< Less than 5 < 2 → False

>= Greater or equal 5 >= 5 → True

<= Less or equal 5 <= 2 → False

🧠 3. Logical Operators
Used to combine conditions.

Operator Meaning Example

and Both true (5>2 and 3>1) → True

or At least one true (5>2 or 3<1) → True

not Reverse result not(5>2) → False

🧮 4. Assignment Operators
Used to assign values.

Operator Example Meaning

= x = 5 Assign

+= x += 2 x = x + 2

-= x -= 2 x = x - 2

*= x *= 2 x = x * 2

/= x /= 2 x = x / 2

🔗 5. Bitwise Operators
Work on binary numbers.

Operator Meaning

& AND

` `

^ XOR

~ NOT

<< Left shift

>> Right shift

📦 6. Membership Operators
Check if a value exists in a sequence.
Operator Example

in 'a' in "apple" → True

not in 'x' not in "apple" → True

🆔 7. Identity Operators
Check if two variables refer to the same object.

Operator Example

is x is y

is not x is not y

✅ Example in Code

x = 10
y = 3
Python Run
print(x + y) # arithmetic
print(x > y) # comparison
print(x > 5 and y < 5) # logical
