Chapter 4: Python Operators

1. Python Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common


mathematical operations:

Operator Name Example

+ Addition x+y

- Subtraction x-y

* Multiplication x*y

/ Division x/y

% Modulus x%y

2. Python Assignment Operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables:

Operator 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

3. Python Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values:

Operator Name 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

4. Python Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to combine conditional statements:

Operator Description Example

Returns True if both statements


and x < 5 and x < 10
are true

Returns True if one of the


or x < 5 or x < 4
statements is true

Reverse the result, returns False if


not not(x < 5 and x < 10)
the result is true

5. Python Identity Operators

Identity operators are used to compare the objects, not if they are equal,
but if they are actually the same object, with the same memory location:

Operator Description Example

Returns True if both variables


is x is y
are the same object

Returns True if both variables


is not x is not y
are not the same object

17
6. Python Membership Operators

Membership operators are used to test if a sequence is presented in an object:

Operator Description Example

Returns True if a sequence with the specified


In x in y
value is present in the object

Returns True if a sequence with the specified


not in x not in y
value is not present in the object

7. Python Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators are used to compare (binary) numbers:

Operator Name Description Example

Sets each bit to 1


& AND x&y
if both bits are 1

Sets each bit to 1


| OR x|y
if one of two bits is 1

Sets each bit to 1


^ XOR x^y
if only one of two bits is 1

~ NOT Inverts all the bits ~x
