Operators

Operators are symbols that perform operations on variables and values. Based on the class of operator used, they can be adapted towards different applications.

Arithmetic Operators:

Arithmetic operators are used to perform simple arithmetic operations.

Operator	Function	Example
+	addition	5+2 =7
-	subtraction	5-2 =3
*	multiplication	5*2 =10
/	division	5/2 =2.5
%	computes remainder	5%2 =1
//	floor division (will not return floating point numbers	5//2= 2

x = 5 
y = 7 
z = x + y 
print(z)

Comparison Operators:

Comparison operators are used to check conditions and compare two numbers or variables.

Operator	Function	Example
==	Checks if two numbers are equal	x == y
!=	checks if two numbers are not equal	x != y
<	checks whether a number is less than another	x < y
>	checks whether a number is greater than another	x > y
<=	checks whether a number is less than or equal to another	x <= y
>=	checks whether a number is greater than or equal to another	x >= y

x = 5 
y = 7 
if (x<y): 
    print('Y is greater')

Assignment Operators:

Assignment operators are used to assign a value to a variable.

Operator	Example	Function
=	a=8	a is assigned the value of 8
+=	a+=8	this is useful in case of an iterative operation; similar functions can be defined for other arithmetic operators

x = 5 
x += 10 
print(x)
