Python operators are the constructs which can

manipulate the value of operands. These are

symbols used for the purpose of logical,
arithmetic and various other operations.
Consider the expression 4+5=9. Here, 4 and 5
are called operands and + is called operator. In
this tutorial, we will study different types of
Python operators.

Types of Python Operators

Python language supports the following types of
operators.

" Arithmetic Operators

" Comparison (Relational) Operators
Assignment Operators
"Logical Operators
" Bitwise Operators
" Membership Operators
"ldentity Operators
Let us have a quick look on all these operators
one by one.

Python Arithmetic Operators

Python arithmetic operators are used to perform
mathematical operations on numerical values.
These operations are Addition, Subtraction,

+ Addition 10 + 20

Subtraction 20- 10

Multiplication 10 * 20 =200

Division 20/ 10 =

% Modulus 22% 10

**
Exponent 4**2 = 16

Floor Division 9//2 = 4

Example
Following is an example which shows all the
above operations:

a = 21 Edit &Run
b = 10

# Addit ion
print ("a + b : + b

# Subtraction
print ("a - b b
 # Floor Division
print ("a // b: a // b

This produce the following result -

a + b : 31
a - b: 11
a * b: 210
a / b: 2.1
a %b : 1
a ** b : 16679880978201
a // b : 2

Python Comparison Operators

Python comparison operators compare the
values on either sides of them and decide
a = 21
Edit &Run
b = 10

# Addit ion
print ("a + b : ,a + b

# Subtraction
print ("a - b a b

# Mult iplication
print ("a * b * b)

# Division
print ("a / b: " , a / b)

# Modulus
print ("a % b : ", a % b)

# Exponent
print ("a ** b : . a** b)

# Floor Division
print ("a // b: a // b)
a = 4 Edit & Run
b= 5

# Equal
print ("a == b : " .. a == b)

# Not Equal
print ("a != b : a !: b

# Greater Than
print ("a > b: , a > b)

# Less Than
print ("a < b:" a < b)

# Greater Than or Equal to

print ('a >: b: a > b)

# Less Than or Equal to

print ('a <= b: a <= b)

This produce the following result -

a == b : False
a != b : True
a > b: False
a <b: True
a >= b : False
a <= b : True

Python Comparison Operators

Python comparison operators compare the
values on either sides of them and decide the
relation among them. They are also called
relational operators. These operators are equal,
not equal, greater than, less than, greater than or
equal to and less than or equal to.

Operator Name Example

Equal 4 ==5 is not

true.

Not Equal 4 = 5 is true.

Greater Than 4>5 is not

true.

Less Than 4<5 is true.

Greater than or 4 >=5 is not

Equal to true.

<= Less than or Equal to 4 <=5is true.

Example
Following is an example which shows all the
above comparison operations:

a =4 Edit &Run :
b = 5
 # Greater Than or Equal to

print ("a >= b: a >= b

# Less Than or Equal to

print ("a <= b: ", a <= b

This produce the following result

a == b :
False
a != b : True
a > b : False
a <b : True
a >= b : False
a <= b : True

values to variables. These operators include

Operators
Python's membership operators test for
membership in a sequence, such as strings, lists,
or tuples. There are two membership operators
as explained below -

Complement, unary plus and minus

(method names for the last two are
