Python Operators

In programming, there are different types of operators with carry out various functionality.

• Arithmetic operators



Operator	Name
+	Addition
-	Subtraction
*	Multiplication
/	Division
%	Modulus
**	Exponential
//	Floor Division



• Assignment operators



Operator	Description
=	Assign value of right side of expression to left side operand
+=	Add AND: Add right-side operand with left side operand and then assign to left operand
-=	Subtract AND: Subtract right operand from left operand and then assign to left operand
*=	Multiply AND: Multiply right operand with left operand and then assign to left operand
/=	Divide AND: Divide left operand with right operand and then assign to left operand
%=	Modulus AND: Takes modulus using left and right operands and assign the result to left operand
//=	Divide(floor) AND: Divide left operand with right operand and then assign the value(floor) to left operand
**=	Exponent AND: Calculate exponent(raise power) value using operands and assign value to left operand
&=	Performs Bitwise AND on operands and assign value to left operand
|=	Performs Bitwise OR on operands and assign value to left operand
^=	Performs Bitwise xOR on operands and assign value to left operand
>>=	Performs Bitwise right shift on operands and assign value to left operand
<<=	Performs Bitwise left shift on operands and assign value to left operand



• Comparison operators



Operator	Description
>	Greater than: True if the left operand is greater than the right
<	Less than: True if the left operand is less than the right
==	Less than: True if the left operand is less than the right
!=	Not equal to – True if operands are not equal
>=	Greater than or equal to True if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right
<=	Less than or equal to True if the left operand is less than or equal to the right
is	x is the same as y
is not	x is not the same as y



• Logical operators



Operator	Description
and	Logical AND: True if both the operands are true
or	Logical OR: True if either of the operands is true
not	Logical NOT: True if the operand is false



• Membership operators



Operator	Description
in	True if value is found in the sequence
not in	True if value is not found in the sequence



• Bitwise operators



Operator	Description
&	Bitwise AND
|	Bitwise OR
~	Bitwise NOT
^	Bitwise XOR
>>	Bitwise right shift
<<	Bitwise left shift
