Arithmetic Operation in Python

The most basi arithmetic operations that can be done in Python are : Addition, Substration, Multipication and Division.

And these operations are performed using the following operations.

 

+ => Addition

- => Substration 

* => Multipication

/ => Division

 

You can use follwing operators to perform higher level arithmetic operations.

In the next lecture, we will examine what these operators do one by one.

 

% => Mod

// => Floor Division

** => Exponetiate

 

Mod is the remainder obatined by dividing a number by another number. It is performed using the % operator in Python.

For example, the remainder of dividing 29 by 7 is 1.

 

 

Another used operator in Python is the floor division operator. This gives us the full demical part of the result after a division.

In python, you can do this using the double slash // character.

 

Last operator to review is the double asterik. You can apply exponetiation with this operator.

 

We can perform arithemetic operations on a variable and equate it to itself.

We can also do the same operation like this:

We can put the operator of the arithmetic operation we want beofre the eqauls operator and create the new variable in a shorter time.

Note : you can do this with the operators used in all other arithmetic operations.

 

Arithmetic operations have an order of procedence. This order is as follows :

Parentheses > Exponents > Negative Numbers > Multipication and Division > Addition and Subtraction
