Arithmetic operators

Arithmetic operators perform mathematical operations on numeric variables, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and floor division.

See definition:

Operation	Operator	Examples
Multiplication	*	5 * 2 = 10
Division	/	10 / 2 = 5
Addition	+	7 + 3 = 10
Subtraction	-	10 - 3 = 7
Floor Division	//	10 // 3 = 3
Modulo	%	10 % 3 = 1
Power	**	5 ** 2 = 25

Examples

# Define two variables
a = 7
b = 3

# multiplication
c = a * b
print (f'Multiplication: {c}')

Multiplication: 21

# division
c = a / b
print (f'Division: {c}')

Division: 2.3333333333333335

# addition
c = a + b
print (f'Sum: {c}')

Sum: 10

# subtraction
c = a - b
print (f'Subtraction: {c}')

Subtraction: 4

# floor division - it rounds a given number down to the nearest integer that is less than or equal to the original number
c = a // b
print (f'Floor Division: {a // b}')

Floor Division: 2

# modulo - it calculates the integer remainder of dividing the first number (dividend) by the second number (divisor)
c = a % b
print (f'Modulo: {c}')

Modulo: 1

# a to the power b -  two asterisks (**) raise a number to a specified exponent
c = a ** b
print (f'Power: {a ** b}')

Power: 343
