Arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment, and other operators.

In this lesson

01Arithmetic Operators

Used for basic mathematical operations.

Python
1a, b = 15, 4
2

3print(a + b)    # 19  Addition
4print(a - b)    # 11  Subtraction
5print(a * b)    # 60  Multiplication
6print(a / b)    # 3.75 Division
7print(a // b)   # 3   Floor division
8print(a % b)    # 3   Modulus
9print(a ** b)   # 50625 Exponentiation
Output
19
11
60
3.75
3
3
50625

02Comparison Operators

Return True or False by comparing two values.

Python
1x, y = 10, 20
2

3print(x == y)   # False
4print(x != y)   # True
5print(x > y)    # False
6print(x < y)    # True
7print(x >= y)   # False
8print(x <= y)   # True
Output
False
True
False
True
False
True

03Logical Operators

Combine conditional statements using and, or, not.

Python
1a, b = True, False
2

3print(a and b)   # False
4print(a or b)    # True
5print(not a)     # False
Output
False
True
False
