Operators¶
Arithmetic Operators¶
- + (addition)
- Returns the sum of two expressions.
- - (subtraction)
- Returns the difference of two expressions.
- * (multiplication)
- Returns the product of two expressions.
- ** (power)
- Returns the value of a numeric expression raised to a specified power.
- / (division)
- Returns the quotient of two expressions.
- // (floor division)
- Returns the integral part of the quotient.
- % (modulus)
- Returns the decimal part (remainder) of the quotient.
Assignment Operators¶
- = (simple assignment)
- Assigns a value to a variable(s).
- += (increment assignment)
- Adds a value and the variable and assigns the result to that variable.
- -= (decrement assignment)
- Subtracts a value from the variable and assigns the result to that variable.
- *= (multiplication assignment)
- Multiplies the variable by a value and assigns the result to that variable.
- /= (division assignment)
- Divides the variable by a value and assigns the result to that variable.
- **= (power assignment)
- Raises the variable to a specified power and assigns the result to the variable.
- %= (modulus assignment)
- Computes the modulus of the variable and a value and assigns the result to that variable.
- //= (floor division assignment)
- Floor divides the variable by a value and assigns the result to that variable.
Relational Operators¶
- == (equal)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether two expressions are equal.
- != (not equal)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether two expressions are not equal.
- > (greater than)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether one expression is greater than the other.
- >= (greater than or equal)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether one expression is greater than or equal the other.
- < (less than)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether one expression is less than the other.
- <= (less than or equal)
- Returns a Boolean stating whether one expression is less than or equal the other.
Boolean Operators¶
Callables Operators¶
- * (tuple packing)
- Packs the consecutive function positional arguments into a tuple.
- ** (dictionary packing)
- Packs the consecutive function keyword arguments into a dictionary.
- * (tuple unpacking)
- Unpacks the contents of a tuple into the function call.
- ** (dictionary unpacking)
- Unpacks the contents of a dictionary into the function call.
- @ (decorator)
- Returns a callable wrapped by another callable.
- () (call operator)
- Calls a callable object with specified arguments.
- lambda
- Returns an anonymous function.
Bitwise Operators¶
- & (bitwise AND)
- Returns the result of bitwise AND of two integers.
- | (bitwise OR)
- Returns the result of bitwise OR of two integers.
- ^ (bitwise XOR)
- Returns the result of bitwise XOR of two integers.
- << (left shift)
- Shifts the bits of the first operand left by the specified number of bits.
- >> (right shift)
- Shifts the bits of the first operand right by the specified number of bits.
- ~ (bitwise complement)
- Sets the 1 bits to 0 and 1 to 0 and then adds 1.
Bitwise Assignment Operators¶
- &= (bitwise AND assignment)
- Performs bitwise AND and assigns value to the left operand.
- |= (bitwise OR assignment)
- Performs bitwise OR and assigns value to the left operand.
- ^= (bitwise XOR assignment)
- Performs bitwise XOR and assigns value to the left operand.
- <<= (bitwise right shift assignment)
- Performs bitwise left shift and assigns value to the left operand.
- >>= (bitwise left shift assignment)
- Performs bitwise right shift and assigns value to the left operand.
Misc¶
- ; (statement separator)
- Separates two statements.
- (line continuation)
- Breaks the line of code allowing for the next line continuation.
- . (attribute access)
- Gives access to an object’s attribute.
String and Sequence Operators¶
- + (concatenation)
- Returns a concatenation of two sequences.
- * (multiple concatenation)
- Returns a sequence self-concatenated specified amount of times.
- % (string formatting operator)
- Formats the string according to the specified format.
Sequence Assignment Operators¶
- += (concatenation assignment)
- Concatenates the sequence with the right operand and assigns the result to that sequence.
- *= (multiple concatenation assignment)
- Multiple concatenates the sequence and assigns the result to that sequence.
