Python has many operators which can perform specific operations. These operators can manipulate numbers or check conditions.<\/p>\n

And the best part, they are easy to understand and implement.<\/p>\n

Types of Operator: <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Python language supports the following types of operators.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Arithmetic Operators<\/li>\n
  2. Relational Operators<\/li>\n
  3. Logical Operators<\/li>\n
  4. Assignment Operators<\/li>\n
  5. Membership Operators<\/li>\n
  6. Bitwise Operators<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Arithmetic Operators: <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    These operators are meant for number data types only. There perform the basic arithmetic operations:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • + for addition<\/li>\n
    • \u2013 for subtraction<\/li>\n
    • * for multiplication<\/li>\n
    • \/ for division<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Python also has 3 arithmetic operators that are special. We will discuss them.<\/p>\n

      a. % (Modulus operator)<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n

      This operator gives the remainder of the division. And if there is no remainder it returns zero.<\/p>\n

      For example: 22 % 7 = 1, 21 % 7 = 0<\/p>\n

      b. ** (Exponent operator)<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n

      This operator performs exponential (power) calculation on numbers. The first number is raised to the power of the second number.<\/p>\n

      For example: 2**3 = 8<\/p>\n

      c. \/\/ (Floor Division)<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n

      This operator performs division but truncates off decimal part.<\/p>\n

      For example: 44 \/\/ 7 = 6<\/p>\n
