Operators in Python
Operators are special symbols that perform operations on values or variables. Python has a rich set of operators for arithmetic, comparison, logic, assignment, and more.
Understanding operators is essential for writing expressions and making decisions in code. We'll cover every category with clear examples you can run.
Arithmetic Operators
Perform basic mathematical operations.
Comparison Operators
Compare values and return True or False.
Logical Operators
Combine boolean values: and, or, not.
Short-circuit evaluation: and stops if first is False, or stops if first is True.
Assignment Operators
Bitwise Operators
Operate on binary representations (advanced, but useful in low-level code).
Membership Operators
Identity Operators
Operator Precedence
Operations are evaluated in order (use parentheses for clarity).
