Mathematical Operators:
Mathematical Operators are used in mathematics to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Python has seven arithmetic operators:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division
- Modulus
- Exponentiation
- Floor division
Addition:
The addition operator in Python is +. It is used to combine two values.
Example:
v1 = 2
v2 = 30
# using the addition operator
res = v1 + v2
print(res)
Output:
32
Subtraction:
The subtraction operator in Python is -. It’s used to deduct the second value from the first.
Example:
v1 = 20
v2 = 3
# using the subtraction operator
res = v1 - v2
print(res)
Output:
17
Multiplication:
The multiplication operator in Python is *. It is used to compute the product of two values.
Example:
v1 = 20
v2 = 3
# using the multiplication operator
res = v1 * v2
print(res)
Output:
60
Division:
The division operator in Python is /. When the first operand is divided by the second, it yields the quotient.
Example:
v1 = 20
v2 = 3
# using the division operator
res = v1 / v2
print(res)
Output:
6.666666666666667
Modulus:
The modulus operator in Python is %. When the first operand is divided by the second, it returns the remainder.
Example:
v1 = 20
v2 = 3
# using the division operator
res = v1 % v2
print(res)
Output:
2
Exponentiation:
** is the Python exponentiation operator. It is used to raise the first operand to the power of the second operand.
Example:
v1 = 20
v2 = 3
# using the division operator
res = v1 ** v2
print(res)
Output:
8000
Floor division:
// is used in Python to perform floor division. It is used to find the quotient’s floor when the first operand is divided by the second.
Example:
v1 = 22
v2 = 3
# using the division operator
res = v1 // v2
print(res)
Output:
7
