Arithmetic Operators Python
Python can also be used to perform mathematical operations, like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division etc.
To do a calculation in Python you have to just enter the mathematical expression between the brackets after the print statement.
Like this!
print(2 + 5)
Output
7
Note:- The space between the numbers and mathematical operators is not necessarily, but it helps other programmers to read your code clearly.
Similarly
print(3 - 1)
print(7 * 2)
print(6 / 2)
Output
2
14
3
Other Mathematical Operations
Other than Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Python can also be used to solve an exponential function, and find reminder and quotient.
Exponentiation Operator:- In Python Exponentiation operator is defined with **. It is used to define the exponential function x^y.
print (3 ** 2)
Output
9
Modulus Operator:- In Python the percentage sign (%) is called modulus operator. It is used to find the reminder when first number is divided by second number.
print (32 % 6)
Output
2
Floor Division:- In Python double slash // is used for floor division. Floor division is used to find the floor of the quotient when first number is divided by second number.
print (6 // 4)
Output
1
