With just a few symbols, you can handle all sorts of calculations.<\/p>\n Example –<\/strong><\/p>\n# Variables<\/em><\/p>\na = 15<\/em><\/p>\nb = 4<\/em><\/p>\n# Addition<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Addition:", a + b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Subtraction<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Subtraction:", a – b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Multiplication<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Multiplication:", a * b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Division<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Division:", a \/ b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Floor Division<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Floor Division:", a \/\/ b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Modulus<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Modulus:", a % b) <\/em><\/p>\n# Exponentiation<\/em><\/p>\nprint("Exponentiation:", a ** b)<\/em><\/p>\n2. Comparison Operators<\/h3>\nComparison operators in Python help you compare values and return either True or False. They are essential for making decisions in your code. Let’s go through the most common ones:<\/p>\n \n- Equal to (==)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The equal to operator checks if two values are the same. If they are, it returns True; otherwise, it returns False. For example:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 5<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a == b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Not Equal to (!=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The not equal to operator checks if two values are different. If they are, it returns True; if not, it returns False. For example:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 3<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a != b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Greater than (>)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The greater than operator checks if the left value is larger than the right. If it is, it returns True; otherwise, it returns False. For example:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 3<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a > b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Less than (<)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The less-than Python operator checks if the left value is smaller than the right. If it is, it returns True; if not, it returns False. For instance:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 3<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a < b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: False<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Greater than or Equal to (>=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The greater than or equal to operator checks if the left value is greater than or equal to the right. If true, it returns True; if not, it returns False. For example:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 5<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a >= b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Less than or Equal to (<=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Finally, the less than or equal to operator checks if the left value is smaller or equal to the right value. If true, it returns True; otherwise, it returns False. For example:<\/p>\n a = 5<\/em><\/p>\nb = 3<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a <= b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: False<\/em><\/p>\nThese comparison operators are essential for comparing the values of your program.<\/p>\n 3. Assignment Operators<\/h3>\nIn Python, assignment operators help you assign or update values in variables. Let’s explore the most commonly used ones:<\/p>\n \n- Simple Assignment (=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This operator assigns a value to a variable.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong> a = 5<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Addition Assignment (+=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
With this operator, you add a number to a variable and update it.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 5<\/em><\/p>\na += 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 8<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Subtraction Assignment (-=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Similarly, this operator subtracts a number from a variable and updates the value.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 5<\/em><\/p>\na -= 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 2<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Multiplication Assignment (*=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This operator multiplies the variable by a number and updates it.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 5<\/em><\/p>\na *= 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 15<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Division Assignment (\/=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Next, this operator divides the variable by a number and updates it.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 10<\/em><\/p>\na \/= 2<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 5.0<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Modulus Assignment (%=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This operator calculates the remainder when dividing the variable by a number and updates it.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 10<\/em><\/p>\na %= 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 1<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Exponentiation Assignment (=)**<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The exponentiation assignment operator raises the variable to the power of a number and updates the value.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 2<\/em><\/p>\na **= 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 8<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Floor Division Assignment (\/\/=)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Finally, this operator divides the variable by a number and updates it with the largest whole number.<\/p>\n For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 10<\/em><\/p>\na \/\/= 3<\/em><\/p>\nprint(a) # Output: 3<\/em><\/p>\nThese operators make it easier to update variable values in Python. Moreover, they help you write concise, efficient code while keeping things clear and simple.<\/p>\n 4. Logical Operators in Python<\/h3>\nPython Logical Operators allow you to combine multiple conditions and make complex decisions in your code. Python and operators include AND, OR, and NOT, which help evaluate several conditions together.<\/p>\n Here’s an overview of each logical operator:<\/p>\n \n- Logical AND: <\/strong>This operator checks if both conditions are true. It returns True only if both are true; otherwise, it returns False. In other words, “Do both conditions need to be true to proceed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = True<\/em><\/p>\nb = True<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a and b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Logical OR: <\/strong>The OR operator checks if at least one of the conditions is true. If either condition is true, it returns True; if both are false, it returns False. It’s like asking, “Is one condition enough to proceed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = False<\/em><\/p>\nb = True<\/em><\/p>\nresult = a or b<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: True<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Logical NOT: <\/strong>The NOT operator reverses the result of a condition. If the condition is True, it turns it to False; if it’s False, it turns it to `True.” It simply flips the value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = True<\/em><\/p>\nresult = not a<\/em><\/p>\nprint(result) # Output: False<\/em><\/p>\n5. Bitwise Operators in Python<\/h3>\nPython Bitwise Operators let you work directly with binary numbers. They perform operations on bits, which are the most basic units of data. These operators are useful when you need to optimize performance or interact with hardware.<\/p>\n Here’s an overview of the main bitwise operators in Python:<\/p>\n \n- Bitwise NOT:<\/strong> This operator flips every bit in a number. If the bit is 1, it changes to 0. If it’s 0, it turns into 1. It’s like flipping a switch for each bit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\na = 5 # 0101 in binary<\/em><\/p>\nresult = ~a # Flips all bits<\/em><\/p>\n |
