Python - Arithmetic Operators

<< Comment Assignment Operators >

The operator is a special symbol that performs the computation like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The operand is the value at which the operator can perform operations.

Python supports different kinds of operators that follow.

Arithmetic Operators

Python uses the Arithmetic operator to perform mathematical calculations(+, -, *, / and ** such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation) on two or more operands. In Python, the "^" symbol is used for the bitwise operator(XOR). But in other languages, the "^" symbol is used for the exponentiation operator.

Sno	Operator	Meaning	Example
1	Addition (+)	Add the values of two operands and store the result on the third operand	A=10 B=20 C=a+ b print(C)
2	Subtraction (-)	Subtract the value of the right-hand operand from the value of the left-hand side and store the result on the third operand	C = a- b
3	Multiplication *()**	Multiply the values of two operands and store the result on the third one	L = a * b
4	Division(/)	Divides numerator operand by denominator operand	C=a/b
5	Floor division(//)	Floor division is applied on two integer operands and the result is a quotient in which the floor division cut off the fractional part. If either of the operands is a floating point, the result of the floor division is also floated.	C = a//b
6	Modulus(%)	Perform modulus operation with two operands and return the remainder	C=a%b
7	Exponent(**)	Calculate the power on the given operand	C=a**2

Example Program with Arithmetic Operators

>> a=30
>> b=25
>> # Add  a & b and store the result in c
>> # print the result c
>> c=a+b
>> print(c)
55
>> # Subtract  b from a and store the result in c
>> # print the result c
>> c=a-b
>> print(c)
5
>> # Multiply  a & b and store the result in c
>> # print the result c
>> c=a*b
>> print(c)
750
>> # Divide a by b and store the result in c
>> # print the result c

>> c=a/b
>> print(c)
1.2
>> # Perform modulus operation and store the result in c
>> # print the result c

>> c=a%b
>> print(c)
5
>> # Perform floor division and store the result in c
>> # print the result c

>> c=a//b
>> print(c)
