Arithmetic operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform basic mathematical calculations.
Example
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulo operations.
Operator | Description | Example: (a=100,b=10,ans=0) |
---|---|---|
+ | Add to operands | ans = a + b;   ans will be 110. |
- | Subtract operand_2 form operand_1 | ans = a - b;   ans will be 90. |
* | Multipy two operands | ans = a * b;   ans will be 1000. |
/ | divides operand_1 by operand_2 | ans = a / b;   ans will be 10. |
% | Gives the remainder after the actual division of operands |
ans = a % b;   ans will be 0. Because 10 will perfectly divide 100 so remainder will be zero. 8  %  3  =  2. 5  %  4  =  1. |
Arithmetic operators - Sample Program
Example
#Arithmetic Operators in python num1 = 100 num2 = 10 print("num1 + num2 = ", num1 + num2) print("num1 - num2 = ", num1 - num2) print("num1 * num2 = ", num1 * num2) print("num1 / num2 = ", num1 / num2) print("num1 % num2 = ", num1 % num2)
