1. Introduction

Operators in Python are symbols used to perform operations on variables and values. They are essential for performing calculations, comparisons, and logical decisions in programs.

2. Types of Operators in Python

Python provides the following main types of operators:

1. Arithmetic Operators
2. Comparison (Relational) Operators
3. Logical Operators
4. Assignment Operators
5. Membership Operators
6. Identity Operators

3. Arithmetic Operators

These operators are used to perform mathematical operations.

Example

a = 10b = 3 print(a + b)print(a % b)print(a ** b)

4. Comparison Operators

These operators are used to compare values and return True or False.

Example

x = 5y = 3 print(x > y)print(x == y)

5. Logical Operators

Used to combine conditional statements.

Example

a = 10 print(a > 5 and a < 20)print(not(a > 5))

6. Assignment Operators

Used to assign values to variables.

Example

x = 5x += 3print(x)

7. Membership Operators

Used to check if a value exists in a sequence.

Example

text = "Python" print("P" in text)print("z" not in text)

8. Identity Operators

Used to compare memory locations of objects.

Example

a = 10b = 10 print(a is b)

9. Operator Precedence

Operator precedence determines which operation is performed first.

Order (high to low):

1. ** (Exponent)
2. *, /, //, %
3. +, -
4. Comparison operators
5. Logical operators

Example

result = 2 + 3 * 4print(result)

10. Summary

• Operators are used to perform operations on data.

• Types include:

  • Arithmetic
  • Comparison
  • Logical
  • Assignment
  • Membership
  • Identity

• Operator precedence controls execution order.

• Operators are essential for calculations, conditions, and logic building.
