Operators in Python – Python Tutorial for All

Operators in Python

• An operator is a symbol used to perform mathematical or logical operations on values.
• The values on which an operator works are called operands.
• For example, in 10 + num, 10 and num are operands and + is an operator.

• Relational operator
• Assignment operator
• Logical operator

Operator Precedence

• In a mathematical or logical expression, operator precedence decides which operator will be executed first.
• Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators with lower precedence.
• It helps Python to perform calculations in the correct order.
• The following table shows the precedence of different operators.
• Parenthesis can be used to override the precedence of operators. The expression within () is evaluated first.
• For operators with equal precedence, the expression is evaluated from left to right.
