Python Operators
In this tutorial, we will learn about Python operators. Python provides a wide range of operators that can be used to manipulate data and variables in programs.
An operator is a special symbol or keyword used to operate on a variable or value. Python Operators are special symbols or keywords that tell the computer to perform operations or manipulations, change a variable’s value, compare variables, control the program’s flow, etc.
Various operators are available in Python to perform different kinds of operations. These operators can be categorized into the following groups:
- Assignment Operators
- Arithmetic Operators
- Comparison Operators
- Logical Operators
- Bitwise Operators
- Membership Operators
- Identity Operators
Assignment Operators
Assignment operators assign values to variables. The assignment operator assigns the right-hand expression value of the left-side variable.
Arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operators.
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare the values of the variables. Based on the comparison, we can change the program’s flow.
Logical operators
Logical operators are used to perform logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT.
Membership Operators
Membership Operators are used to test whether a value or variable is found in a sequence.
Identity Operators
Identity operators are used to compare the memory locations of two objects.
Understanding operators is crucial in learning Python. Expressions are basic sentences of programming. Two essential entities for constructing an expression are operands and operators.
