16. Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, //, %, **)
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, true division, floor division, modulus, and exponentiation operators in Python. Python offers clean syntax and powerful built-in abstractions that streamline software development across web, machine learning, and automation workflows.
# Python Arithmetic Operators
x, y = 20, 6
print(f"{x} + {y} = {x + y}")
print(f"{x} - {y} = {x - y}")
print(f"{x} * {y} = {x * y}")
print(f"{x} / {y} = {x / y} (True division)")
print(f"{x} // {y} = {x // y} (Floor division)")
print(f"{x} % {y} = {x % y} (Remainder)")
print(f"{x} ** {y} = {x ** y} (Power)")Always write clean, PEP 8 compliant code with descriptive variable names and consistent 4-space indentation. Test your code in the online sandbox above before deploying to production.
