Operators used in Python

Types of Operator

Python language supports the following types of operators.
Arithmetic Operators
Comparison (Relational) Operators
Assignment Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Membership Operators
Identity Operators

Python Arithmetic Operators:

Operator	Description
+ Addition	Adds values on either side of the operator.
- Subtraction	Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand.
* Multiplication	Multiplies values on either side of the operator
/ Division	Divides left hand operand by right hand operand
% Modulus	Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder
** Exponent	Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators
//	Floor Division - The division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed.

Python Comparison Operators:

These operators compare the values on either sides of them and decide the relation among them. They are also called Relational operators.

Operator	Description
==	If the values of two operands are equal, then the condition becomes true.
!=	If values of two operands are not equal, then condition becomes true.
<>	If values of two operands are not equal, then condition becomes true.
>	If the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true.
<	If the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true.
>=	If the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true.
<=	If the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true.

Python Assignment Operators: 

Operator	Description
=	Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand
+= Add AND	It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand
-= Subtract AND	It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand
*= Multiply AND	It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand
/= Divide AND	It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand
%= Modulus AND	It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand
**= Exponent AND	Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand
//= Floor Division	It performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand

Python Bitwise Operators:
Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit by bit operation.

Operator	Description
& Binary AND	Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands
| Binary OR	It copies a bit if it exists in either operand.
^ Binary XOR	It copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.
~ Binary Ones Complement	It is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits.
<< Binary Left Shift	The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand.
>> Binary Right Shift	The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand.

Python Logical Operators: 
There are following logical operators supported by Python language.

Operator	Description
and Logical AND	If both the operands are true then condition becomes true.
or Logical OR	If any of the two operands are non-zero then condition becomes true.
not Logical NOT	Used to reverse the logical state of its operand.

Python Membership Operators:
Python’s membership operators test for membership in a sequence, such as strings, lists, or tuples.

Operator	Description
in	Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise.
not in	Evaluates to true if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise.

Python Identity Operators:
Identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects. There are two Identity operators explained below:

Operator	Description
is	Evaluates to true if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and false otherwise.
is not	Evaluates to false if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and true otherwise.

Python Operators Precedence:
The following table lists all operators from highest precedence to lowest.

Operator	Description
**	Exponentiation (raise to the power)
~ + -	Ccomplement, unary plus and minus (method names for the last two are +@ and -@)
* / % //	Multiply, divide, modulo and floor division
+ -	Addition and subtraction
>> <<	Right and left bitwise shift
&	Bitwise 'AND'
^ |	Bitwise exclusive `OR' and regular `OR'
<= < > >=	Comparison operators
<> == !=	Equality operators
= %= /= //= -= += *= **=	Assignment operators
is is not	Identity operators
in not in	Membership operators
not or and	Logical operators
