Basic Math
We can also do basic math with our variables or with numbers in general, whether integers or floats. Just use + for addition, - for subtraction, * for multiplication, and / for division.
Python
print(5+7)
number1 = 8.5
number2 = 9.3
divided_value = number1/number2
print(divided_value)
OUTPUT
Text
12
0.91397849462
Exponents
To work with exponents, use the ** operator followed by the degree for the number.
Python
Test1 = 5
Test2 = Test1**2
print(Test2)
OUTPUT
Text
25
Modulo Operator
The Modulo Operator can be very useful for certain calculations. It returns the remainder of the division of two numbers.
Python
test1 = 5
test2 = 3
test_r = test1%test2
print(test_r)
OUTPUT
Text
2
Here, the variable test_r takes the value of the remainder of 5 divided by 3. This is 2, so the output will be 2.
