Arithmetic Operators in Python

Arithmetic Operators in Python

Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common mathematical operations

Follows - 

• Addition ( +) = x+y 
• Subtraction ( - ) = x-y
• Multiplication ( * ) = x*y
• Division ( / ) = x/y
• Modulus ( % ) = x%y (Return remainder)
• Exponentiation ( ** ) = x**y (Return x^y)
• Floor Division ( // ) = x//y (Return quotient in integer )

So, let's see an example - 

Code on Pydroid 3

Arithmetic Operators ?

x = 5

y = 2

• Addition (+) - This operator will return the sum of two or more operands. Second use of this operator is to join strings (string concatenation ).

Ex - print ( x+y )

Output = 7

Ex - x="Pyth"

       y="on"

       print ( x+y )

Output - Python

• Subtraction ( - ) - This is another arithmetic operator use to subtract two or more operands.

Example - print ( x-y )

Output - 3

• Multiplication ( * ) - This operator used for multiplication of operands. Another use for replication of strings.

Example - print ( x*y )

Output - 10

Example - x= "Py"

                  print (x*3)

Output - PyPyPy

• Division ( / ) - Used for division of two operands.

Example - print ( x/y )

Output - 2.5

• Modulus ( % ) - This is also come under arithmetic operator. It will return remainder of division.

Example - print ( x%y )

Output - 1 (remainder)

• Exponentiation ( ** ) - This will return x^y ( x to the power y).

Example - print ( x**y )

Output - 25

• Floor Division ( // ) - It will return the quotient value but only integer part ( no decimal ).

Example - print ( x//y)

Output - 2

Output of Question

All arithmetic operators are easy, only mathematical operations.

TASK OF THE DAY

You should always see the constraints. We have to do simple arithmetic operations. 

• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
