In Python, operators are special symbols or keywords that allow you to execute operations on variables and values. Numerous operators of various types are supported by Python. You may carry out arithmetic computations, assign values to variables, compare values, execute logical operations, and more with the help of these operators.
The primary categories of operators in Python are as follows:
Arithmetic Operators: These are used to carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and other fundamental mathematical operations.
Assignment Operators: Variable values are assigned using assignment operators. They consist of different compound assignment operators and the equal sign (=).
Relational Operators: These operators are used to compare values and determine how they relate to one another. A Boolean result (True or False) is what they return.
Logical Operators: Boolean values can be combined and altered using logical operators. They consist of the words "and," "or," and "not."
Identity operators: Identity operators are used to determine whether two variables point to the same memory location. In Python, the identity operators are "is" and "is not."
Membership operators: Membership operators are used to determine whether a value is present in a string, tuple, list, or other sequence or collection. Python has two membership operators: "in" and "not in."
Bitwise Operators: Operations on individual bits of binary integers are carried out using bitwise operators. Bitwise operators AND, OR, XOR, and others are among them.
Precedence of Operations: Python operators have varying levels of precedence, which dictate which operations are carried out in an expression first.
