Operators in Python

-

 

Operators iare symbols or predefined keywords that are used to perform specific operations. 


Python supports various types of operators, including:


 Arithmetic Operators:

These operators are used for basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus, exponentiation, and floor division.

   



Comparison Operators:

 Also known as relational operators, they compare values and determine their relationship, such as equal to, not equal to, greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, and less than or equal to.



 Assignment Operators:

These operators are used to assign values to variables and can also perform operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc., simultaneously with assignment.



Logical Operators:

Logical operators combine conditions and return a Boolean result, including AND, OR, and NOT.



Membership Operators:

Membership operators test if a value exists within a sequence, such as lists, strings, or tuples. They include IN and NOT IN.



 Identity Operators:

Identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects to determine if they are the same object or not. They include IS and IS NOT.



Each type of operator serves a specific purpose in Python and is used to perform different operations on data. Understanding these operators is essential for writing effective Python code.

Python Variables

 In Python, variables are used to store and manage data. Variables act as placeholders or containers for storing values. Here are some key points about variables in Python: Variable Naming Rules:    - Variable names can contain letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), and underscores (_).    - Variable names must start with a letter or an underscore (no digits as the first character).    - Variable names are case-sensitive, meaning `myVariable` and `myvariable` are considered different variables.    - Python has reserved words (keywords) that cannot be used as variable names, such as if,  else, for, and while . Variable Assignment:    - Assigning a value to a variable is done using the  = operator.    - Variables can hold various data types, such as integers, floats, strings, lists, dictionaries, and custom objects.    Example:      Dynamic Typing:    - Python uses dynamic typing, me...

Python Type Checking

Type checking is a process in programming where you verify or determine the data type of a variable. It involves examining the characteristics of a value to understand its nature, such as whether it represents an integer, a string, a boolean, or another data type.  Python provides several instructions for type checking, allowing you to determine the data type of a variable or object.  Using the type() instruction:    - The type() instruction returns the type of an object.     - Example: print(type(stu_name))   prints the data type of stu_name , which is a string (<class 'str'>). print(type(stu_age))   prints the data type of stu_age , which is an integer (<class 'int'>). print(type(stu_height))  prints the data type of stu_height , which is a float (<class 'float'>). print(type(stu_approved))   prints the data type of stu_approved , which is a boolean (<class 'bool'>). print(type(stu_hobbies))  prints the d...
