bookFundamentals of Basic Math Operations in Python

Python supports fundamental arithmetic operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/). These operations work with both integers (int) and floating-point numbers (float).

Addition (+)

Addition is used to sum two or more numbers.


              
1234

            
a = 5
b = 3
result = a + b
print(result)  # Output: 8
copy

5 + 3 returns 8, and the result is stored in the result variable.

Subtraction (-)

Subtraction finds the difference between two numbers.


              
1234

            
a = 10
b = 4
result = a - b
print(result)  # Output: 6
copy

10 - 4 equals 6, which is printed to the console.

Multiplication (*)

Multiplication calculates the product of two numbers.


              
1234

            
a = 6
b = 7
result = a * b
print(result)  # Output: 42
copy

The number 6 is multiplied by 7, resulting in 42.

Division (/)

Division returns the quotient of two numbers.


              
1234

            
a = 20
b = 5
result = a / b
print(result)  # Output: 4.0
copy

The result of 20 / 5 is 4.0 (a floating-point number).

Exponentiation (**)

Exponentiation is used to raise a number to the power of another number. In Python, this is done using the ** operator.


              
1234

            
base = 2
exponent = 3
result = base ** exponent
print(result)  # Output: 8
copy
