Lazy Programming Series – Operators in Python

In Python, operators are special symbols or keywords that are used to perform operations on variables and values. Here’s a list of some common operators in Python:

1. Arithmetic Operators:

• Addition (+)
  • Subtraction (-)
  • Multiplication (*)
  • Division (/)
  • Floor Division (//) – Returns the integer part of the quotient
  • Modulus (%) – Returns the remainder of the division
  • Exponentiation (**) – Raises a number to a power

• Comparison (Relational) Operators:

• Equal to (==)
  • Not equal to (!=)
  • Greater than (>)
  • Less than (<)
  • Greater than or equal to (>=)
  • Less than or equal to (<=)

• Logical Operators:

• Logical AND (and)
  • Logical OR (or)
  • Logical NOT (not)

• Assignment Operators:

• Assign (=)
  • Add and assign (+=)
  • Subtract and assign (-=)
  • Multiply and assign (*=)
  • Divide and assign (/=)
  • Modulus and assign (%=)
  • Exponentiate and assign (**=)
  • Floor divide and assign (//=)

• Identity Operators:

• is – Returns true if both variables are the same object
  • is not – Returns true if both variables are not the same object

• Membership Operators:

• in – Returns true if a sequence with the specified value is present in the object
  • not in – Returns true if a sequence with the specified value is not present in the object

• Bitwise Operators:

• Bitwise AND (&)
  • Bitwise OR (|)
  • Bitwise XOR (^)
  • Bitwise NOT (~)
  • Left Shift (<<)
  • Right Shift (>>)

These operators can be used in combination with variables, values, and expressions to perform various operations like arithmetic calculations, comparisons, logical operations, etc.
