In this example, we'll explore the various arithmetic operators available in Python for numeric data types. We'll cover basic arithmetic operators, floor division, exponentiation, modulus, and introduce assignment operators for efficient coding.
# Define variables
a = 2
b = 4
# Addition
result_addition = a + b # Output: 6
# Subtraction
result_subtraction = a - b # Output: -2
# Multiplication
result_multiplication = a * b # Output: 8
# Division
result_division = a / b # Output: 0.5
# Floor Division
result_floor_division = a // b # Output: 0 (rounds down to the nearest whole number)
# Exponentiation
result_exponentiation = a ** b # Output: 16
# Modulus
result_modulus = 3 % 2 # Output: 1 (remainder when 3 is divided by 2)
# Using parentheses to alter order of operations
result_with_parentheses = 10 + 10 * 2 # Output: 30
result_without_parentheses = (10 + 10) * 2 # Output: 40
# Using assignment operators
x = 2
# Long-form operation
x = x + 2 # Equivalent to x += 2
# Short-form operations
x += 2 # Output: 4 (same as x = x + 2)
x -= 2 # Output: 0
x *= 2 # Output: 4
x /= 2 # Output: 1.0
x //= 2 # Output: 0 (floor division)
x **= 3 # Output: 0 (exponentiation)
x %= 3 # Output: 0 (modulus)

This README.md file provides an overview of comparison operators in Python and includes code snippets with examples to illustrate their usage.
Comparison operators in Python are used to compare values and return a boolean based on the result of the comparison. This can be useful for making decisions in your code based on the relationships between different variables.
Let's start by defining some variables:
a = 1
b = 5
c = 10
d = 10
The equality operator (==
) checks if two values are equal:
result = a == b
print(result) # Output: False
result = c == d
print(result) # Output: True
result = a != d # Using '!=' for not equal
print(result) # Output: True
The greater than (>
) and less than (<
) operators compare values:
result = b > a
print(result) # Output: True
result = a > b
print(result) # Output: False
result = c >= d # Greater than or equal to
print(result) # Output: True
result = c < d
print(result) # Output: False
You can chain comparison operators to check multiple conditions:
result = a < b < c
print(result) # Output: True
result = c > b > a
print(result) # Output: True
result = b > a and b < c # Equivalent to the previous example
print(result) # Output: True
Understanding and using comparison operators is fundamental in programming. They allow you to create dynamic and responsive code by making decisions based on the relationships between different values.
Feel free to experiment with these examples and adapt them to your specific use cases in Python programming.
This repository demonstrates the usage of logical operators in Python. Logical operators allow you to combine and evaluate multiple conditions in your code. We'll cover three main logical operators: and
, or
, and not
.
# Chaining the 'and' operator
a = 5
b = 10
c = 5
result = (c == a) and (b > a)
print(result) # Output: True
The and
operator checks that both expressions evaluate to true. In this example, it checks if c
is equal to a
and if b
is greater than a
.
# Using the 'or' operator
a = 5
b = 10
c = 5
result = (c == a) or (b > a)
print(result) # Output: True
The or
operator checks that at least one expression evaluates to true. In this example, it doesn't matter if c
is equal to a
is false because b
is greater than a
, making the whole expression true.
# Applying the 'not' operator
a = 5
b = 10
c = 5
result = not (a > b) # Equivalent to (a <= b)
print(result) # Output: True
result = not (c == a) # Equivalent to (c != a)
print(result) # Output: True
The not
operator negates the result of the expression. It can be used to reverse the truth value of a condition.
