Arithmetic operations
Python enables performing all the standard arithmetic operations. Let's launch the Python interpreter and learn more:
- Addition: Two numbers can be added using the
+
operand. The result is printed on the screen. Try the following example using the python interpreter:
>>>123+456 579
- Subtraction: Two numbers can be added using the
-
operand:
>>>456-123 333 >>>123-456 -333
- Multiplication: Two numbers can be multiplied as follows:
>>>123*456 56088
- Division: Two numbers can be divided as follows:
>>>456/22
20.727272727272727
>>>456/2.0
228.0
>>>int(456/228)
2
- Modulus operator: In Python, the modulus operator (
%
) returns the remainder of a division operation:
>>>4%2 0 >>>3%2 1
- The floor operator (
//
) is the opposite of the modulus operator. This operator returns the floor...
