Python Operators

Assignment operators

Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. Here are the different types of assignment operators in Python: ⮞ Assign (=): This operator is used to assign the value of the right side of the expression to the left side operand. For example, x = y + z assigns the value of y + z to x. ⮞ Add and Assign (+=): This operator adds the right side operand to the left side operand and then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x += y is equivalent to x = x + y. ⮞ Subtract and Assign (-=): This operator subtracts the right operand from the left operand and then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x -= y is equivalent to x = x - y. ⮞ Multiply and Assign (*=): This operator multiplies the right operand with the left operand and then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x *= y is equivalent to x = x * y. ⮞ Divide and Assign (/=): This operator divides the left operand by the right operand and then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x /= y is equivalent to x = x / y. ⮞ Modulus and Assign (%=): This operator takes the modulus using the left and the right operands and then assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x %= y is equivalent to x = x % y. ⮞ Floor Division and Assign (//=): This operator performs floor division on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x //= y is equivalent to x = x // y. ⮞ Exponent and Assign (**=): This operator raises the left operand to the power of the right operand and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x **= y is equivalent to x = x ** y. ⮞ Bitwise AND and Assign (&=): This operator performs bitwise AND on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x &= y is equivalent to x = x & y. ⮞ Bitwise OR and Assign (|=): This operator performs bitwise OR on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x |= y is equivalent to x = x | y. ⮞ Bitwise XOR and Assign (^=): This operator performs bitwise XOR on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x ^= y is equivalent to x = x ^ y. ⮞ Bitwise Right Shift and Assign (>>=): This operator performs bitwise right shift on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x >>= y is equivalent to x = x >> y. ⮞ Bitwise Left Shift and Assign (<<=): This operator performs bitwise left shift on operands and assigns the result to the left operand. For example, x <<= y is equivalent to x = x << y.
Examples of each of the assignment operators in python # Assign (=) x = 10 print(x) # Add and Assign (+=) x += 5 print(x) # Subtract and Assign (-=) x -= 5 print(x) # Multiply and Assign (*=) x *= 2 print(x) # Divide and Assign (/=) x /= 2 print(x) # Modulus and Assign (%=) x %= 3 print(x) # Floor Division and Assign (//=) x = 10 x //= 3 print(x) # Exponent and Assign (**=) x **= 2 print(x) # Bitwise AND and Assign (&=) x &= 2 print(x) # Bitwise OR and Assign (|=) x |= 1 print(x) # Bitwise XOR and Assign (^=) x ^= 1 print(x) # Bitwise Right Shift and Assign (>>=) x = 10 x >>= 2 print(x) # Bitwise Left Shift and Assign (<<=) x <<= 2 print(x)

Output

In these examples, the value of x is updated after each operation. The print(x) statement is used to display the value of x after each operation. Please note that the bitwise operators (&=, |=, ^=, >>=, <<=) work with integers in binary format.
