Working with Python’s Operators

Python provides a wide range of operators for performing operations on values and variables. You use arithmetic operators to perform mathematics, assignment operators to assign data to variables, comparison operators to make comparisons, and logical operators to link conditional statements. You use identity operators to test whether objects are identical, membership operators to determine whether an object includes a particular value, and bitwise operators to compare and manipulate binary numbers.

When you need to perform arithmetical operations in Python, such as addition or division, you can use standard arithmetic operators, adapted slightly for the computer keyboard. For example, while the keyboard includes the  +  key for addition, it has no ÷ key for division, so you use for division instead.

Python performs operations following the standard order used in mathematics. ...
