OVERVIEW

In this blog, you will learn all about the different types of operators in python. Which are:

  • Arithmetic Operators
  • Comparison(Relational) Operators
  • Membership Operators
  • Logical Operators
  • Bitwise Operators
  • Identity Operators
  • Assignment operators

Now let’s understand about them one by one.

ARITHMETIC OPERATORS IN PYTHON

OperatorDescriptionExample
+ AdditionThis will add all the values used with this operator.=>a+b
=>4+5
=>9
– SubtractionThis will subtract the right side value from the left side value used with this operator.=>a-b
=>8-5
=>3
* MultiplicationThis will multiply all the values used with this operator.=>a*b
=>8*5
=>40
/ DivisionThis will divide the left value with the right value with this operator.=>a/b =>8/5
=>1.6
% ModulusThis will divide the left value with the right value and will return the reminder.=>a%b =>8%5
=>3
// Floor divisionFloor Division – The division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed.9//2 = 4 and
9//2.0 = 4.0
** ExponentThis will perform the exponential calculation on the operators. =>4**3
=>64

Example

Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then-

When you execute the above program arithmetic operators in python, it returns the following result-

COMPARISON OPERATORS IN PYTHON

OperatorDescriptionExample
==If both values around the operand are equal, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a==b)
=> (10==20)
=>False
!=If both values around the operand are not equal, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a!=b)
=> (10!=20)
=>True
<If the left value is less than the right value, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a<b)
=> (10<20)
=>True
>If the left value is greater than the right value, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a>b)
=> (10>20)
=>False
<=If the left value is less than or equal to the right value, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a<=b)
=> (20<=20)
=>True
>=If the left value is greater than or equal to the right value, it will return True
otherwise it will return False
=>(a>=b)
=> (30>=20) =>True

Example

Assume variable a holds 10 & variable b holds 20, then-

OPERATORS IN PYTHON

When you execute the above program comparison operators in python, it returns the following result-

ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS IN PYTHON

OperatorDescriptionExample
=Assigns values from right side operands to
left side operand
c=a+b
value(a+b) is assigned to c
+=It will add the right value to the left value and will assign the result to the left operand.c+=a is equivalent to the c=c+a
-=It will subtract the right value from the left value and will assign the result to the left operand.c-=a is equivalent to the c=c-a
*=It will multiply the right value to the left value and will assign the result to the left operand.c*=a is equivalent to the c=c*a
/=It will divide the right value from the left value and will assign the result to the left operand.c/=a is equivalent to the c=c/a
%=It will divide the right value from the left value and the remainder value will assign the result to the left operand.c%=a is equivalent to the c=c%a
**=It will perform exponential(power) calculation and will assign the result to the left operand.c**=a is equivalent to the c=c**a
//=It performs floor division on operators and
assign value to the left operand.
c//=a is equivalent to the c=c//a

Example

Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then-

When you execute the above program assignment operators in python, it returns the following result-

BITWISE OPERATORS IN PYTHON

Bitwise operators works bit wise and performs operation bit-by-bit. Assume a = 60 and b = 13. Now in binary format they will be as follows-

a = 0011 1100
b = 0000 1101
———————-
a&b = 0000 1100
a|b = 0011 1101
a^b = 0011 0001
~a = 1100 0011

Python’s built-in function bin() can be used to obtain binary representation of an integer
number.

OperatorDescriptionExample
&Operator copies a bit to the result, if it
exists in both operands
=>(a & b)
=>(0011 1100 & 0000 1101)
=>0000 1100
|It copies a bit, if it exists in either
operand.
=>(a | b)
=> (0011 1100 | 0000 1101)
=> 61 (means 0011 1101)
^It copies the bit, if it is set in one operand
but not both.
=>(a ^ b)
=> (0011 1100 ^ 0000 1101)
=> 49 (means 0011 0001)
~It is unary and has the effect of ‘flipping’
bits.
=>(~a )
=> ~(0011 1100)
=> -61 (means 1100 0011 in 2’s
complement form due to a signed
binary number.
<<The left operand’s value is moved left by
the number of bits specified by the right
operand.
a << = 240 (means
1111 0000)
>>The left operand’s value is moved right
by the number of bits specified by the
right operand.
a >> = 15 (means
0000 1111)

Example

When you execute the above program bitwise operators in python, it returns the following result-

LOGICAL OPERATORS IN PYTHON

The following logical operators in python are supported by Python language. Assume variable a has value True and variable b has value False then-

OperatorDescriptionExample
andIf both side of the operator the value is true that it returns True, otherwise False=>(a and b)
=>False.
orIf either side of the operator the value is true that it returns True, otherwise False=>(a or b)
=>True.
notUsed to invert the logical state of its operand.=>not(a and b)
=>True.

MEMBERSHIP OPERATORS IN PYTHON

OperatorDescriptionExample
inIt evaluates the output to true, if it finds a variable
in the specified sequence, otherwise false.
=>6 in [1,2,3,4,5,6]
=>True
not inIt evaluates the output to true, if it doesn’t find a variable
in the specified sequence, otherwise false.
=>6 not in [1,2,3,4,5,6]
=>False

Example

When you execute the above program for membership operators in python, it returns the following result-

IDENTITY OPERATORS IN PYTHON

OperatorDescriptionExample
isIt evaluates to true if the variables on
either side of the operator point to the
same object and false otherwise.
x is y, here is results
in 1 if id(x) equals
id(y).
is notIt evaluates to false if the variables on
either side of the operator point to the
same object and false otherwise.
x is not y, here is
not results in 1 if id(x)
is not equal to id(y).

Example

When you execute the above program identity operators in python, it returns the following result-
