Python Operators – Python3 Tutorials

Like other programming languages Python also uses various Python Operators. Here, we will discuss each descriptively. What is Operator? Operators are special symbols(like +,*,-,, etc.), which are used to performing operations on the variables and values.

Python language divides the operators into the following types:

1. Arithmetic operators
2. Assignment operators
3. Comparison operators
4. Logical operators
5. Identity operators
6. Membership operators
7. Bitwise operators

Let us have a look at all the operators one by one.

Arithmetic Operators in Python perform various arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, %modulus, and so on.

Suppose : a=10 and b=5

Like other programming languages, Python also has various assignment operators.

Let a=5, b=6, and c=7.

The Logical operators in PythonPython uses for conditional statements are true or false. Logical operators are AND, OR, and NOT.

For Python logical operators below, mentioned following condition are applied:

1. AND operator – This operator is returned TRUE if both the operands (right side and left side) are true.
2. OR operator– OR returns TRUE if either of the operand (right side or left side) is true.
3. NOT operator– this operator returns TRUE if the operand is false.

For Example: Here, we get a true or false value based on the value of X and Y.

X = True
Y = False
print(('X and Y is',X and Y))
print(('X or Y is',X or Y))
print(('not a is',not Y))

Identity python operators use to compare the objects, not only if they are equal, but if they are the same object, with the same memory location, we can say that Identity Operators use to compare the memory location of the two objects. 

There are two types of identity operators used in PythonPython.

• Is Operator: It returns true if two variables point to the same object.
• Is not Operator: This returns false if two variables or operands the same object, or it returns false if two variables are not the same.

a1 = 5
b1 = 5
a2 = 'Hello'
b2 = 'Hello'
a3 = [1,2,3]
b3 = [1,2,3]

# Output will be: False
.
print(a1 is not b1)

# Output will be: True
.
print(a2 is b2)

# Output will be: False
.
print(a3 is b3)

Output:

Membership Python operators are types: in and not in.

In membership operators: True if the variable is found in the sequence. For instance:

not in membership operators: True if the variable is not found in the sequence.

x = 'Hello Guys'
y = {1:'a',2:'b'}

# Output will be: True
print('H' in x)

# Output will be: True
print('hello' not in x)

# Output will be: True
print(1 in y)

# Output will be: False
print('a' in y)

Output:

Bitwise Python operators act on operands or values as if they were strings of binary digits. It operates on the bits and performs bit by bit operation.

For example: 2 = 10 in binary and 7 = 111.
