- Arithmetic operators: Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
OPERATOR | DESCRIPTION | SYNTAX |
---|---|---|
+ | Addition: adds two operands | x + y |
– | Subtraction: subtracts two operands | x – y |
* | Multiplication: multiplies two operands | x * y |
/ | Division (float): divides the first operand by the second | x / y |
// | Division (floor): divides the first operand by the second | x // y |
% | Modulus: returns the remainder when first operand is divided by the second | x % y |
** | Power : Returns first raised to power second | x ** y |
Example:
for example, open any of your text editor(notepad/notepad++), then copy the code below
a = 9 b = 4 #Addition of numbers add = a + b #Subtraction of numbers sub = a - b #Multiplication of number mul = a * b #Division(float) of number div1 = a / b #Division(floor) of number div2 = a // b #Modulo of both number mod = a % b #Power p = a ** b print results print(add) print(sub) print(mul) print(div1) print(div2) print(mod) print(p)
