Python Operators

Here’s a comprehensive table of Python operators, along with examples and explanations for each type:

Arithmetic Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
+	Addition	5 + 3	Adds two numbers
-	Subtraction	5 - 3	Subtracts second number from first
*	Multiplication	5 * 3	Multiplies two numbers
/	Division	5 / 3	Divides first number by second
//	Floor Division	5 // 3	Divides and returns the integer part
%	Modulus	5 % 3	Returns the remainder of division
**	Exponentiation	5 ** 3	Raises first number to the power of second

Assignment Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
=	Assignment	x = 5	Assigns value to variable
+=	Addition Assignment	x += 3	Adds and assigns
-=	Subtraction Assignment	x -= 3	Subtracts and assigns
*=	Multiplication Assignment	x *= 3	Multiplies and assigns
/=	Division Assignment	x /= 3	Divides and assigns
//=	Floor Division Assignment	x //= 3	Floor divides and assigns
%=	Modulus Assignment	x %= 3	Modulus and assigns
**=	Exponentiation Assignment	x **= 3	Exponentiates and assigns

Comparison Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
==	Equal to	5 == 3	Checks if two values are equal
!=	Not equal to	5 != 3	Checks if two values are not equal
>	Greater than	5 > 3	Checks if first value is greater
<	Less than	5 < 3	Checks if first value is lesser
>=	Greater than or equal to	5 >= 3	Checks if first value is greater or equal
<=	Less than or equal to	5 <= 3	Checks if first value is lesser or equal

Logical Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
and	Logical AND	True and False	Returns True if both are True
or	Logical OR	True or False	Returns True if one is True
not	Logical NOT	not True	Returns the opposite boolean value

Bitwise Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
&	AND	5 & 3	Bitwise AND
`	`	OR	`5
^	XOR	5 ^ 3	Bitwise XOR
~	NOT	~5	Bitwise NOT
<<	Left Shift	5 << 1	Shifts bits left
>>	Right Shift	5 >> 1	Shifts bits right

Identity Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
is	Identity	x is y	Checks if both variables are same object
is not	Not Identity	x is not y	Checks if both variables are not same object

Membership Operators

Operator	Name	Example	Explanation
in	Membership	'a' in 'apple'	Checks if value is in sequence
not in	Not Membership	'b' not in 'apple'	Checks if value is not in sequence
