Python Operators Explained with Examples

Introduction

Python Operators are special symbols or keywords used to perform operations on values and variables.
They are used for calculations, comparisons, assigning values, and logical operations.

Examples: +, -, *, /, >,..etc.

Example:Adding Tow Numbers

Python

number_1=10
number_2=5
add=number_1 + number_2
print(f"The Sum of two Number is:{add}")

1)What Are Operators / Operands / Expressions in Python?

An operator is a special symbol or keyword used to perform an operation on values or variables.

An operator is usually placed between operands in an expression.

Operators are used for calculations, comparisons, logical operations, assigning values, and more.

Simple Examples

Python

a = 10
b = 5
print(a + b)

output

Python

15

Explanation:

• a = 10 → Stores 10 in a.
• b = 5 → Stores 5 in b.
• + → The addition operator.
• a + b → Adds the two values.
• print() → Displays the result on the screen.
• Output → 15

Examples: Take two numbers from users

Python

a = int(input("Enter first number: "))
b = int(input("Enter second number: "))
print(f"Sum is:{a+b}")

output

Python

Enter first number:10
Enter second number:30
Sum is:40

Explanation:

1. input() → Takes a value from the user.
2. int() → Converts the user input into an integer.
3. a → Stores the first number.
4. b → Stores the second number.
5. f"..." → Creates a formatted string.
6. {a + b} → Calculates the expression inside the curly braces.
7. The result is directly inserted into the string.
