Arithmetic operators in python

Arithmetic operators are used for mathematical computations. Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values like integers or float.
Following are the Arithmetic operators in python:

1. + (Addition) operator
2. – (Subtraction) operator
3. * (Multiplication) operator
4. / (Division) operator
5. // (Floor Division) operator
6. % (Modulus) operator
7. ** (Exponent) operator

+ operator:

+ is an addition operator. This operator is used to add two numbers.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
total = num1 + num2
print(total)

Output:

30

– operator:

-is a subtraction operator. This operator is used for subtracting two numbers.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
total = num2 - num1
print(total)

Output:

10

* operator:

* is the multiplication operator. * operator is used for multiplication.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
total = num1 * num2
print(total)

Output:

200

/ operator:

/ is a division operator. / is used for division. It returns result in float.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
total = num2 / num1
print(total)

Output:

2.0

// operator:

// is a floor division operator. // is used for division. But this operator returns result in an integer.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 3
total = num1 // num2
print(total)

Output:

3

% operator:

% is a modulus operator. % is a modulus operator which gives the remainder of the division.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 3
total = num1 % num2
print(total)

Output:

1

** operator:

** is an exponent operator.

Example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 3
total = num1 ** num2
print(total)

Output:

1000
