Python For Beginner's Day - 9
Escape Characters:
It is represented by backslash(\) followed by the character to insert.
To insert a string with double quotes inside the string then usually we get an error, to overcome that this escape character is used like \"
Escape character | Use |
\n | The new line character helps to insert a new line before or after a string. |
\\ | The backslash character allows the programmer to insert a backslash to the output. |
\' | The single quote character will add single quote to the string. |
\t | It represents tab/space between the strings. |
\b | This provides backspace to the string. It is inserted by adding a backslash followed by “b”. |
“b” here represents backslash. |
Python Operators:
used to perform operations on variables and values.
Arithmetic Operators:
used to perform mathematical operations.
| Operator | Name | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | + | Addition | x + y(performs addition between 2 numeric values) | | - | Subtraction | x - y(performs subtraction between 2 numeric values) | | * | Multiplication | x * y(perform multiplication between 2 numeric values) | | / | Division | x / y(perform division between 2 numeric values | | % | Modulus | x % y(performs division but the result which it returns is the remainder) | | ** | Exponentiation | x ** y(it represents x to the power of y) | | // | Floor division | x // y(performs division but the result which it returns is the nearest whole number) |
Comparison Operator:
used to compare 2 values.
| Operator | Name | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | \== | Equal | x == y(returns true if both values are equal) | | != | Not equal | x != y(returns true if both values are not equal) | | \> | Greater than | x > y(returns true if x is greater than y) | | < | Less than | x < y(returns true if x is less than y) | | \>= | Greater than or equal to | x >= y(returns true if x is greater than or equal to y) | | <= | Less than or equal to | x <= y(returns true if x is less than or equal to y) |
Assignment Operator:
used to assign values to the variables.
| Operator | Example | | --- | --- | | \= | x = 5(assigns value 5 to x) | | += | x += 4( same as x = x + 4) | | -= | x -= 4(same as x = x - 4) | | *= | x *= 4(same as x = x*4) | | /= | x /= 4(same as x = x/4) | | %= | x %= 4(same as x = x%4) | | //= | x //= 4(same as x = x//4 which does division and returns nearest whole number) | | **= | x **\= 4( same as x = x ** 4 which does x to the power of 4) |
