Arithmetic operators in Python



OperatorDescriptionExample
+ AdditionAdds values on either side of the operator.a + b = 31
- SubtractionSubtracts right hand operand from left hand operand.a – b = -11
* MultiplicationMultiplies values on either side of the operatora * b = 210
/ DivisionDivides left hand operand by right hand operandb / a = 2.1
% ModulusDivides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainderb % a = 1
** ExponentPerforms exponential (power) calculation on operatorsa**b =10 to the power 20
//Floor Division - The division of operands where the result is the quotient in which the digits after the decimal point are removed. But if one of the operands is negative, the result is floored, i.e., rounded away from zero (towards negative infinity):9//2 = 4 and 9.0//2.0 = 4.0, -11//3 = -4, -11.0//3
