Operators

Arithmetic operators

Operator	Name	Explanation
+	Plus	Adds the two objects.
-	Minus	Either gives a negative number or gives the subtraction of one number from the other.
*	Multiply	Gives the multiplication of the two numbers or returns the string repeated that many times.
**	Power	Returns x to the power of y.
/	Divide	Divide x by y.
//	Floor Division	Returns the floor of the quotient.
%	Modulo	Returns the remainder of the division.

Bitwise Operations on Integer Types

Operator	Name	Explanation
<<	Left Shift	Shifts the bits of the number to the left by the number of bits specified.
>>	Right Shift	Shifts the bits of the number to the right by the number of bits specified.
&	Bitwise AND	Bitwise AND of the numbers.
	Bitwise OR	Bitwise OR of the numbers.
^	Bitwise XOR	Bitwise XOR of the numbers.
~	Bitwise Invert	The bitwise inversion of x.

Logical Operators

Operator	Name	Explanation
not	Boolean NOT	If x is True, it returns False. If x is False, it returns True.
and	Boolean AND	x and y returns False if x is False, else it returns evaluation of y.
or	Boolean OR	If x is True, it returns True, else it returns evaluation of y.

Comparison operators

Operator	Name	Explanation
<	Less Than	Returns whether x is less than y. All comparison operators return 1 for true and 0 for false. This is equivalent to the special variables True and False respectively. Note the capitalization of these variables' names.
>	Greater Than	Returns whether x is greater than y.
<=	Less Than or Equal To	Returns whether x is less than or equal to y.
>=	Greater Than or Equal To	Returns whether x is greater than or equal to y.
==	Equal To	Compares if the objects are equal.
!=	Not Equal To	Compares if the objects are not equal.

Boolean operators

Operator	Name	Explanation
not	Boolean NOT	If x is True, it returns False. If x is False, it returns True.
and	Boolean AND	x and y returns False if x is False, else it returns evaluation of y.
or	Boolean OR	If x is True, it returns True, else it returns evaluation of y.
