Arithmetic Operators

Below, we can find the basic arithmetic operators in order of precedence. The operator listed higher will be computed first. These operators allow us to perform arithmetic operations in Python.

Addition

We can add two numbers using the + operator.

Explanation

Here is the code explanation:

• Line 1: Adds two integers, 10 and 5, resulting in 15.

• Line 5: Adds two floating-point numbers float1 and float2 having values 13.65 and 3.40, producing 17.05.

• Line 9: Adds an integer 20 to a floating-point number 10.5, yielding 30.5. This illustrates that Python's addition operator can handle both integers and floating-point numbers, performing the necessary type conversions to produce the correct results.

Subtraction

We can subtract one number from the other using the - operator.

Explanation

Here is the code explanation:

• Line 1: Subtracts two integers, 10 and 5, resulting in 5.

• Line 5: Subtracts two floating-point numbers float1 and float2 having values -18.678 and 3.55, producing -22.228.

• Line 9: Subtracts an integer 20 to a floating-point number 10.5, yielding 9.5. This illustrates that Python's subtraction operator can handle both integers and floating-point numbers, performing the necessary type conversions to produce the correct results.

Multiplication

We can multiply two numbers using the * operator.

Explanation

Here is the code explanation:

• Line 1: Multiplies two integers, 40 and 10, resulting in 400.

• Line 5: Multiplies two floating-point numbers float1 and float2 having values 5.5 and 4.5 ...
