In Python, operators are special symbols that carry out arithmetic or logical computation. Here's a brief overview of the main types of operators in Python with examples:

1. Arithmetic Operators:

   • Used to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.
   • Example:

     # Addition
     print(5 + 3)  # Output: 8
     
     # Subtraction
     print(5 - 3)  # Output: 2
     
     # Multiplication
     print(5 * 3)  # Output: 15
     
     # Division
     print(5 / 3)  # Output: 1.666...

2. Comparison Operators:

   • Used to compare values. It either returns True or False according to the condition.
   • Example:

     # Equal to
     print(5 == 3)  # Output: False
     
     # Not equal to
     print(5 != 3)  # Output: True
     
     # Greater than
     print(5 > 3)  # Output: True

3. Logical Operators:

   • Used to combine conditional statements.
   • Example:

     # and operator
     print((5 > 3) and (5 < 10))  # Output: True
     
     # or operator
     print((5 > 3) or (5 > 10))  # Output: True
     
     # not operator
     print(not(5 > 3))  # Output: False

4. Assignment Operators:

   • Used to assign values to variables.
   • Example:

     # Simple assignment
     x = 5
     print(x)  # Output: 5
     
     # Add and assign
     x += 3
     print(x)  # Output: 8

5. Membership Operators:

   • Used to test whether a value or variable is found in a sequence (string, list, tuple, set, and dictionary).
   • Example:

     # in operator
     print('a' in 'apple')  # Output: True
     
     # not in operator
     print('b' not in 'apple')  # Output: True

6. Bitwise Operators:

   • Used to perform bitwise calculations on integers.
   • Example:

     # Bitwise AND
     print(5 & 3)  # Output: 1
     
     # Bitwise OR
     print(5 | 3)  # Output: 7

These examples should give you a good understanding of how different operators work in Python. Feel free to experiment with them to see how they operate! 🐍✨
