Python Tutorial 2.3 - Basic Operations

Welcome to the "Basic Operations in Python" tutorial!


Overview

In this lesson, we explore the operations you can perform with various data types, including arithmetic, comparisons, and logical operations.

Arithmetic Operations

  • Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*) and Division (/):
    result = 2 + 3   # result is 5
    quotient = 10 / 2  # quotient is 5.0
    
  • Modulus (%) and Exponentiation ():**
    remainder = 10 % 3  # remainder is 1
    power = 2 ** 3      # power is 8
    

Comparison Operations

  • Equality and Inequality:
    print(5 == 5)  # True
    print(5 != 3)  # True
    
  • Greater Than, Less Than, etc.:
    print(7 > 3)   # True
    print(7 < 10)  # True
    

Logical Operations

  • Logical AND, OR, NOT:
    print(True and False)  # False
    print(True or False)   # True
    print(not True)        # False
    

Key Takeaways

  • Master arithmetic operations for numerical computations.
  • Understand comparison operators to control logical flow.
  • Utilize logical operators to form complex conditions.

Happy coding!
