Basic operators

Aside from assigning a variable, we can perform mathematical operations on variables. Some of the basic operators include:

multiplication → *

division → /

addition → +

subtraction → -

floor division → //

modulus → %

exponent → **

An example includes:

x = 5, y = 2

x*y = 10

x/y = 2.5

x + y = 7

x - y = 3

x//y = 2 (rounds down answer to nearest whole number)

x%y = 1 (remainder from 5/2)

x**y = 25 (5^2)
