Python Operators and Their Uses

 🔢 1. Arithmetic Operators

Used for basic mathematical operations.

Operator Description Example Result

+ Addition 3 + 2 5

- Subtraction 3 - 2 1

* Multiplication 3 * 2 6

/ Division 3 / 2 1.5

// Floor Division 3 // 2 1

% Modulus (remainder) 3 % 2 1

** Exponentiation 3 ** 2 9

🔁 2. Assignment Operators

Used to assign values to variables.

Operator Example Same As

= x = 5 assign 5 to x

+= x += 3 x = x + 3

-= x -= 3 x = x - 3

*= x *= 3 x = x * 3

/= x /= 3 x = x / 3

%= x %= 3 x = x % 3

**= x **= 2 x = x ** 2

//= x //= 2 x = x // 2

❓ 3. Comparison Operators

Used to compare values (returns True or False).

Operator Description Example

== Equal to 3 == 3

!= Not equal to 3 != 2

> Greater than 3 > 2

< Less than 2 < 3

>= Greater than or equal 3 >= 3

<= Less than or equal 2 <= 3

🔘 4. Logical Operators

Used to combine conditional statements.

Operator Description Example

and True if both are true True and False → False

or True if at least one is true True or False → True

not Inverts the result not True → False

📦 5. Bitwise Operators

Used to perform bit-level operations.

Operator Description Example

& AND 5 & 3 → 1

` ` OR

^ XOR 5 ^ 3 → 6

~ NOT ~5 → -6

<< Left Shift 5 << 1 → 10

>> Right Shift 5 >> 1 → 2

📋 6. Membership Operators

Used to test for membership in a sequence (like lists, strings, etc.).

Operator Description Example

in True if value is present 'a' in 'apple' → True

not in True if value is not present 'x' not in 'apple' → True

🧱 7. Identity Operators

Used to compare memory locations.

Operator Description Example

is True if same object x is y

is not True if not same object x is not y
