Python divides the operators in the following groups:

• Arithmetic operators
• Relational Operators
• Logical operators
• Bitwise operators
• Assignment operators
• Special operators

1 - Arithmetic operators:

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

# Examples of Arithmetic Operator 
a = 9
b = 4
Addition of numbers 
add = a + b 
Subtraction of numbers 
sub = a - b 
Multiplication of number 
mul = a * b 
Division(float) of number 
div1 = a / b 
Division(floor) of number 
div2 = a // b 
Modulo of both number 
mod = a % b 
print results 
print(add) 

print(sub) 

print(mul) 

print(div1) 

print(div2) 

print(mod) 

Output:

13

5

36

2.25

2

1

2 - Relational Operators:

Relational operators compares the values. It either returns True or False according to the condition.

# Examples of Relational Operators 

a = 13

b = 33

a > b is False 
print(a > b) 
a < b is True 
print(a < b) 
a == b is False 
print(a == b) 
a != b is True 
print(a != b) 
a >= b is False 
print(a >= b) 
a <= b is True 
print(a <= b) 

Output:

False

True

False

True

False

True

3 - Logical operators:

Logical operators perform Logical AND, Logical OR and Logical NOT operations.

# Examples of Logical Operator 

a = True

b = False

Print a and b is False 
print(a and b) 
Print a or b is True 
print(a or b) 
Print not a is False 
print(not a) 

Output:

False

True

False

4 - Bitwise operators:

Bitwise operators acts on bits and performs bit by bit operation.

# Examples of Bitwise operators 

a = 10

b = 4

Print bitwise AND operation 
print(a & b) 
Print bitwise OR operation 
print(a | b) 
Print bitwise NOT operation 
print(~a) 
print bitwise XOR operation 
print(a ^ b) 
print bitwise right shift operation 
print(a >> 2) 
print bitwise left shift operation 
print(a << 2) 

Output:

0

14

-11

14

2

40

5 - Assignment operators:

Assignment operators are used to assign values to the variables.

6 - Special operators:

There are some special type of operators like

• Identity operators-

is and is not are the identity operators both are used to check if two values are located on the same part of the memory. Two variables that are equal does not imply that they are identical.

is          True if the operands are identical

is not      True if the operands are not identical

# Examples of Identity operators 

a1 = 3

b1 = 3

a2 = ‘GeeksforGeeks’

b2 = ‘GeeksforGeeks’

a3 = [1,2,3] 

b3 = [1,2,3] 

print(a1 is not b1) 
print(a2 is b2) 
Output is False, since lists are mutable. 
print(a3 is b3) 

Output:

False

True

False

• Membership operators

in and not in are the membership operators; used to test whether a value or variable is in a sequence.

in            True if value is found in the sequence

not in        True if value is not found in the sequence

# Examples of Membership operator 

x = ‘Geeks for Geeks’

y = {3:‘a’,4:‘b’} 

print(‘G’ in x) 
print(‘geeks’ not in x) 
print(‘Geeks’ not in x) 
print(3 in y) 
print(‘b’ in y) 

Output:

True

True

False

True

False
