Type of Operators

Types of Operator

Python language supports the following types of operators.

• Arithmetic Operators
• Comparison (Relational) Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Membership Operators
• Identity Operators

Operators are the constructs which can manipulate the value of operands.

Consider the expression 4 + 6 = 10. Here, 4 and 6 are called operands and + is called operator.

Python Assignment Operators Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then − [ Show Example ] Operator Description Example = Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand c = a + b assigns value of a + b into c += Add AND 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 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 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 It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand c /= a is equivalent to c = c / ac /= a is equivalent to c = c / a %= Modulus AND It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand c %= a is equivalent to c = c % a **= Exponent AND Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand c **= a is equivalent to c
