    The document discusses operators and expressions in Python. It describes different types of operators like arithmetic, bitwise, and compound assignment operators. Arithmetic operators include unary operators like negation (-) and binary operators like addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), floor division (//), and modulo (%). It also covers operator precedence and associativity, explaining that operators with the same precedence are evaluated from left to right. Bitwise operators allow manipulation of individual bits, and compound operators like += combine assignment with another operation.

    Introduction to Expression and Operators
     An expression in Python is a block of code that produces a result or value upon evaluation.

     An expression can be broken down into operators and operands.

     Operators are symbols help the user or command computer to perform mathematical operations.

    Example:

    In the expression 6 + 3 the ‘+’ act as operator. Where operator requires operands to perform
    operations. Therefore 6 and 3 act as operands.
    Arithmetic Operators
    There are two types of Arithmetic Operators
    a) Unary Operator
    b) Binary Operator
    Unary Operators:
    Unary arithmetic operators perform mathematical operations on one operand only. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ are two unary operators.
    Example:
    >>> x = -5 #Negates the value of X
    >>> x
    -5
    Binary Operators
    Binary operators are operators which require two operands .
    Operator is written in between two operands.
    Example:
    >>> 3 + 10
    >>>13
    >>> 10 – 7
    >>> 3
    Division(/) Operators and Floor Division Operators

     Division Operator

    If the division operator is applied in between two operands, it returns the result as the arithmetic quotient of the
    operands.

     Example:
    >>> 4/2
    >>> 2.0
    >>> 2/3
    0.6666666666666666
    Floor Division (//) Operator

     If the floor division operator is applied in between two operands, it returns the result as the arithmetic
    quotient of the operands .

     Python floor division (//) operator when applied on two int operands, Python returns an int result.

    Example:
    >>> 9//4
    2
    Modulo (%) Operator

    When the second number divides the first number, the modulo operator returns the remainder.

    Example:
    >>> 21 % 9
    3

    Note:
    X%Y is equivalent to X – Y * (x//Y)
    The Exponent ** Operator

    The ‘**’ exponent operator is used to calculate the power or exponent of a number

    To compute xY (X raised to Y), the expression is written as X**Y.

    Example

    >>> 5**4
    625
    Operator Precedence and Associativity
     The operator precedence determines the order in which the python interpreter evaluates the operators in
    an expression.

     Where as associativity property decides which operation to be performed first.

    Associativity is of two types.

    a) Left to Right
    Example:
    4+6–3+2 = 9

    Note: When the operators of same priority are found in the expression, precedence is given to the left most
    operator.

    b) Right to Left
    X = Y = Z = Value
    Note: When the operators of same priority are found in the expression, precedence is given to the right
    most operator.
    Associativity Continued….

    Example:
    Z = 4 * 6 + 8 // 2
    = 28
    In the above expression * is evaluated first, even though * and // have the same priorities. The operator *
    occurs before // and hence the evaluation starts from left to right.

    Asociativity table for Arithmetic Operators


    Bitwise Operators

     Python has six bitwise operators.


     Python support bitwise operator for bit wise manipulation.
     It allows the programmer to access and manipulate individual bits within a piece of data.
     Following are the six bitwise operators supported by
    Compound Assignment Operator
    The operators +, *, //, /, % and ** are used with assignment operator (=) to form compound or augmented
    assignment operator.

    Example:
    X=X+1

    But python allows programmer to combine assignment and addition operator.

    Thus the above statement X = X + 1 can also be written as

    X+=1

    Various other Compound Assignment operators are as follows

    *= , /= //=, %=, **=, -= , and !=


    Conclusion

     Various binary operators such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), integer division, floor
    division, modulus operators (%), and exponent (**) are covered.

     Operator precedence and Associativity is explained in brief.

     Programmer has also came to know various augmented operators.
