Operators

Python - Basic Operators
Python language supports following type of operators.

• Arithmetic Operators
• Comparison Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Logical Operators
• Conditional (or ternary) Operators

2
Python Arithmetic Operators:
Assume a=10 b=20
Operator Description Example
+ Addition - Adds values on either side of the operator a + b will give 30

Subtraction - Subtracts right hand operand from left hand

- operand
a - b will give -10

* Multiplication - Multiplies values on either side of the operator a * b will give 200

/ Division - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand b / a will give 2

Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand

% and returns remainder
b % a will give 0

Exponent - Performs exponential (power) calculation on

** operators
a**b will give 10 to the power 20

Floor Division - The division of operands where the result is 9//2 is equal to 4
// the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are and
removed. 9.0//2.0 is equal to 4.0

Python Comparison Operators: Assume a=10 b=20
Operator Description Example
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not,
== if yes then condition becomes True. (a == b) is False.

Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not,

!= if values are not equal then condition becomes True. (a != b) is True.

Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of

> right operand, if yes then condition becomes True. (a > b) is False.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of

< right operand, if yes then condition becomes True. (a < b) is True.

Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to

>= the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes True. (a >= b) is False.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the

<= value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes True. (a <= b) is True.

Python Assignment Operators:
Operator Description Example
c = a + b will assign
= Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand value of a + b into c
It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result c += a is equivalent to
+= to left operand c=c+a
It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the c -= a is equivalent to
-= result to left operand c=c-a

It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the c *= a is equivalent to
*= result to left operand c=c*a

It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the c /= a is equivalent to
/= result to left operand c=c/a
It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to c %= a is equivalent to
%= left operand c=c%a
Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and c **= a is equivalent to
**= assign value to the left operand c = c ** a
Performs floor division on operators and assign value to the c //= a is equivalent to
//= left operand c = c // a

Python Bitwise Operators: a=60(111100) b=13(001101)

Operator Description Example

Binary AND Operator (a & b) will give 12 which is
& copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. 0000 1100
Binary OR Operator (a | b) will give 61 which is
| copies a bit if it exists in either operand. 0011 1101
Binary XOR Operator (a ^ b) will give 49 which is
^ copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. 0011 0001
Binary Ones Complement Operator (~a ) will give -61 which is
~ is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits. 1100 0011

Binary Left Shift Operator.

a << 2 will give 240 which is
<< The left operands value is moved left by the number
1111 0000
of bits specified by the right operand.

Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is

a >> 2 will give 15 which is
>> moved right by the number of bits specified by the
0000 1111
right operand.

Python Logical Operators:
a=True b=True
Operator Description Example

Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are

and (a and b) is True.
True then then condition becomes True.

Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands

or (a or b) is True.
are non zero then then condition becomes True.

Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to reverses the

not logical state of its operand. If a condition is True then not(a and b) is false.
Logical NOT operator will make false.

7
Python Membership Operators:
In addition to the operators discussed previously, Python has membership operators, which test for
membership in a sequence, such as strings, lists, or tuples.

Operator Description Example

Evaluates to True if it finds a variable in the x in y, here in results True

in specified sequence and false otherwise. if x is a member of sequence y.

x not in y, here not in results

Evaluates to True if it does not finds a variable in True
not in the specified sequence and false otherwise. if x is not a member of
sequence y.

Trade Fair
Number of people who attended the event on the first day was x. But as days 10
progressed, the event gained good response and the number of people who attended the
event on the second day was twice the number of people who attended on the first day.
Unfortunately due to heavy rains on the third day, the number of people who attended
the event was exactly half the number of people who attended on the first day.

Given the total number of people who have attended the event in the first 3 days, find the
number of people who have attended the event on day 1, day 2 and day 3.

Enter the total number of people
10500
Number of attendees on day 1 : 3000
Number of attendees on day 2 : 6000
Number of attendees on day 3 : 1500
