Now, lets move on to next topic in the Python coding challenge.

*Operators in Python*

Operators are special symbols or keywords that perform operations on variables and values.

*Types of Operators in Python:*

*1. Arithmetic Operators*

Used for basic math:
+ (add), - (subtract), * (multiply), / (divide), // (floor divide), % (modulus), ** (power)

a = 10
b = 3
print(a + b) 13
print(a ** b) 1000


*2. Comparison Operators*

Used to compare two values:
==, !=, , , =, =

x = 5
print(x == 5) True
print(x != 3) True


*3. Logical Operators*

Used to combine conditional statements:
and, or, not

age = 20
print(age 18 and age 25) True


*4. Assignment Operators*

Used to assign values to variables:
=, +=, -=, *=, /=, etc.

score = 10
score += 5 score is now 15


*Mini Project: Build a Simple Calculator*

Lets apply what weve learned!

*Task: Build a calculator that asks the user to enter two numbers and an operator, then prints the result.*

*Approach*

1. Take two numbers from the user.
2. Ask for an operator (+, -, *, /).
3. Perform the operation based on what the user entered.
4. Print the result, or shows Invalid operator! if the input is wrong.

*Python Code*:

num1 = float(input(Enter first number: ))
op = input(Enter operator (+, -, *, /): )
num2 = float(input(Enter second number: ))

if op == +:
print(num1 + num2)
elif op == -:
print(num1 - num2)
elif op == *:
print(num1 * num2)
elif op == /:
print(num1 / num2)
else:
print(Invalid operator!)
