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 ...
