Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are symbols used to perform mathematical operations on numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, floor division, modulus, and exponentiation. Each operator has a specific function and example demonstrating its use. A summary table provides a quick reference for each operator, its symbol, description, and an example result.

What Are Arithmetic Operators?

Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations on numbers.

1. Addition (+)

Adds two numbers.


a = 10
b = 5
result = a + b
print("Addition:", result) # Output: 15

2. Subtraction (-)

Subtracts the second number from the first.

a = 10
b = 5
result = a - b
print("Subtraction:", result) # Output: 5

3. Multiplication (*)

Multiplies two numbers.


a = 10
b = 5
result = a * b
print("Multiplication:", result) # Output: 50

4. Division (/)

Divides the first number by the second and returns a float.

a = 10
b = 5
result = a / b
print("Division:", result) # Output: 2.0

Even if both numbers are integers, result is float.

5. Floor Division (//)

Divides and returns the integer part (no decimals).


a = 10
b = 3
result = a // b
print("Floor Division:", result) # Output: 3

6. Modulus (%)

Returns the remainder of division.

a = 10
b = 3
result = a % b
print("Modulus:", result) # Output: 1

7. Exponentiation (**)

Raises the first number to the power of the second.


a = 2
b = 3
result = a ** b # 2 raised to power 3
print("Exponentiation:", result) # Output: 8

Full Example (All Together)

x = 9
y = 4

print("Addition:", x + y) # 13
print("Subtraction:", x - y) # 5
print("Multiplication:", x * y) # 36
print("Division:", x / y) # 2.25
print("Floor Division:", x // y) # 2
print("Modulus:", x % y) # 1
print("Exponent:", x ** y) # 6561

Summary Table

Operator Symbol Description Example Result

Addition + Adds values 3+2 5


Subtract - Subtracts values 3-2 1

Multiply * Multiplies values 3*2 6

Divide / Divides values 3/2 1.5

Floor Div // Integer division 3 // 2 1

Modulus % Remainder of division 3 % 2 1

Exponent ** Power operation 3 ** 2 9
