| Operator |
Description |
Example |
| + |
Addition - Adds values on either side of the operator |
a + b will give 30 |
| - |
Subtraction - Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand |
a - b will give -10 |
| * |
Multiplication - Multiplies values on either side of the operator |
a * b will give 200 |
| / |
Division - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand |
b / a will give 2 |
| % |
Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder |
b % a will give 0 |
| ** |
Exponent - Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators |
a**b will give 10 to the power 20 |
| // |
Floor Division - The division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed. |
9//2 is equal to 4 and 9.0//2.0 is equal to 4.0 |
| == |
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if yes then condition becomes true. |
(a == b) is not true. |
| != |
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then condition becomes true. |
(a != b) is true. |
| <> |
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then condition becomes true. |
(a <> b) is true. This is similar to != operator. |
| > |
Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. |
(a > b) is not true. |
| < |
Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. |
(a < b) is true. |
| >= |
Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. |
(a >= b) is not true. |
| <= |
Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then condition becomes true. |
(a <= b) is true. |
| = |
Simple assignment operator, Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand |
c = a + b will assigne value of a + b into c |
| += |
Add AND assignment operator, It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c += a is equivalent to c = c + a |
| -= |
Subtract AND assignment operator, It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c -= a is equivalent to c = c - a |
| *= |
Multiply AND assignment operator, It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand |
c *= a is equivalent to c = c * a |
| /= |
Divide AND assignment operator, It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand |
c /= a is equivalent to c = c / a |
| %= |
Modulus AND assignment operator, It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand |
c %= a is equivalent to c = c % a |
| **= |
Exponent AND assignment operator, Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand |
c **= a is equivalent to c = c ** a |
| //= |
Floor Dividion and assigns a value, Performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand |
c //= a is equivalent to c = c // a |
| & |
Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. |
(a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100 |
| | |
Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in eather operand. |
(a | b) will give 61 which is 0011 1101 |
| ^ |
Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. |
(a ^ b) will give 49 which is 0011 0001 |
| ~ |
Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the efect of 'flipping' bits. |
(~a ) will give -60 which is 1100 0011 |
| << |
Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. |
a << 2 will give 240 which is 1111 0000 |
| >> |
Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. |
a >> 2 will give 15 which is 0000 1111 |
| and |
Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are true then then condition becomes true. |
(a and b) is true. |
| or |
Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands are non zero then then condition becomes true. |
(a or b) is true. |
| not |
Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true then Logical NOT operator will make false. |
not(a && b) is false. |
| in |
Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. |
x in y, here in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y. |
| not in |
Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. |
x not in y, here not in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y. |
| is |
Evaluates to true if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and false otherwise. |
x is y, here is results in 1 if id(x) equals id(y). |
| is not |
Evaluates to false if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and true otherwise. |
x is not y, here is not results in 1 if id(x) is not equal to id(y). |
