2.Type of operators:
1. Arithmetic Operators: (+, -, *, /, %, **, //)
2. Assignment operator: (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, **=, //=)
3. Unary minus operator: (-)
4. Relational operators (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=)
5. Logical operators (and, or, not)
6. Membership operators (in, not in)

1. OPERATOR
✓An operator is a symbol that performs an operation.
✓An operator acts on some variables, those variables are
called as operands.
✓If an operator acts on a single operand, then it is called as unary
operator.
✓If an operator acts on 2 operands, then it is called as binary
operator.
✓If an operator acts on 3 operands, then it is called as ternary
operator.

operator and operands example

✓Here a, b and c are

called as operands.

✓ + symbol is called as
operator.

1.Arithmetic Operators: (+, -, *, /, %, **, //)
2.Assignment operator: (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, **=, //=)
3.Unary minus operator: (-)
4.Relational operators (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=)
5.Logical operators (and, or, not)
6.Membership operators (in, not in)

Make a note:
✓Python does not have increment and decrement operators.

1. Arithmetic Operators: (+, -, *, /, %, **, //)
Assume that,
a = 13 and b = 5
Operator Meaning Example Result
+ Addition a+b 18
- Subtraction a-b 8
* Multiplication a*b 65
/ Division a/b 2.6
% Modulus a%b 3
(Remainder of division)
** Exponent operator a ** b 371293
(exponential power value)

// Integer division a // b 2
(gives only integer quotient)

Arithmetic Operators

Make a note:
✓Division operator / always performs floating point arithmetic, so it
returns float values.
✓Floor division (//) can perform both floating point and integral as well,
oIf values are int type, then result is int type.
oIf at least one value is float type, then result is float type.

2. Assignment operator: (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, **=, //=)
✓By using these operators, we can assign values to variables.
Assume that, a = 13

3. Unary minus operator: (-)
✓Symbol of unary minus operator is –

4. Relational operators (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=)
✓By using these operators, we can create simple conditions.
✓These operators are used to compare two values.
✓These operators’ returns result as Boolean type either True or False.

Assume that,

a = 13
b=5

5. Logical operators (and, or, not)
✓In python there are three logical operators those are,

o and
o or
o Not

✓Logical operators are useful to create compound conditions.

✓Compound condition is a combination of more than one simple
condition.
✓Each simple condition brings the Boolean result finally the total
compound condition evaluates either True or False.
15
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 15
For Boolean types behavior
✓and

o If both arguments are True, then only result is True

✓or

o If at least one argument is True, then result is True

✓not

o complement

6. Membership operators (in, not in)
✓There are two membership operators,

o in
o not in

✓Membership operators are useful to check whether the given value is

available in sequence or not.
(It may be string, list, set, tuple and dict)

19
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 19
Membership operators (in, not in)
The in operator

✓in operator returns True, if element is found in the collection or

sequences.
✓in operator returns False, if element is not found in the collection or
sequences.

The not in operator

✓not in operator returns True, if an element is not found in the

sequence.
✓not in operator returns False, if an element is found in the sequence.
