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...
