Python - As a programming language 2

Let's continue the Python series and talk about operators. There are some different types of operators but we start with the arithmetic ones. 

Arithmetic Operators: 

Addition (+): Adds two operands. 

result_add = 5 + 3
print(result_add) #outputs 8

Subtraction (-): Subtracts the right operand from the left operand.

result_sub = 10 - 3
print(result_sub) #outputs 8

Multiplication (*): Multiplies two operands.

result_mult = 6 * 7
print(result_mult) #outputs 42

Division (/): Divides the left operand y the right operand(always results in a float).

result_div = 15 / 3
print(result_div) #outputs 5.0

Floor Division (//): Divides the left operand by the right operand and returns the integer part of the result.

result_floor_div = 16 // 3
print(result_floor_div) #outputs 5

Modulus (%): Returns the remainder of the division of the left operand by the right operand.

result_mod = 16 % 3
print(result_mod) #outputs 1

Exponentiation (**): Raises the left operand to the power of the right operand.   

result_exp = 2 ** 5
print(result_exp) #outputs 32

In the next blog post we are going to go through variables and assignment operators.

Enjoy!
