Python Basics

The basics of Python.

Mathematical Operators

Operator	Syntax	Example
Addition	+	1+1=2
Subtraction	-	5-1=4
Multiplication	*	10*10=100
Division	/	10/2=5
Modulus	%	10%2=0
Exponent	**	5**2=25

Comparison Operators

Symbol	Syntax
Greater Than	>
Less Than	<
Equal To	==
Not Equal To	!=
Greater Than or Equal To	>=
Less Than or Equal To	<=

Data Types

• String: combinations of characters like letters or symbols.

• Integer: whole numbers.

• Float: numbers with decimal points or fractions.

• Boolean: data restricted to True or False.

• List: series of different data types in a collection.

Logical Operators

Logical Operation	Operator	Example
Equivalence	==	if x == 5
Less Than	<	if x < 5
Less Than or Equal To	<=	if x <= 5
Greater Than	>	if x > 5
Greater Than or Equal To	>=	if x >= 5

Boolean Operators

Boolean Operation	Operator	Example
Both conditions must be true for the statement to be true.	AND	if x>=5 AND x<=100 True if x is between 5 and 100
Only one condition of the statement needs to be true.	OR	if x==1 OR x==10 True if x is 1 or 10
If a condition is the opposite of an argument.	NOT	if NOT y Returns True if y is False
