Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators:

Arithmetic operators perform basic arithmetic operations, for example, Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, % modulus, exponent, etc.

Example:

For arithmetic operators, we will take a simple example of addition where we will add two-digit 4+5=9

Operator	Meaning	Example	Output
+	Addition	a=2+3	print(a): 5
-	Subtraction	a=4-2	print(a): 2
*	Multiplication	a=2*3	6
/	Division: divides left operand by the right operand	a=4/2	2
%	Modulus gives a remainder of division	4%2	0
//	Integer division. Floor division. Performs division and gives only integer quotient.	5//2	2
**	Exponent operator	10**2	100

Priorities of Arithmetic operators:

First priority: *,/,% and floor division are equal priorities.

2^nd priority: +,-

Example:

a=2+3*2

-->Here the first '*' operator is evaluated i.e: 3*2 is evaluated i.e: a=2+6
-->Now '+' operator is evaluated i.e a=8
--->Now '=' assignment operator is evaluated i.e 8 is stored in variable 'a'
