Chapter 1.8 Operators

For more complex mathematical operations, common mathematical operators are available.

Operators
operator	operation	example	code
+	addition	3+2	a = 3+2
-	subtraction	3-2	b = 3-2
*	multiplication	3*2	c=3*2
/	division	10/2	d=10/2
//	floor division		e=10//3
**	power	2³	f=2**3
%	modulus		g=8%3

Try to check the results of the code in two lines, first calculating the result of the operation and then print the result like the following code.

>>> a = 3 + 2

>>> print(a)

“Floor division” will always round the answer down to the nearest integer. For example, 11//2 will be 5, not 5.5, and 99//100 will equal 0.

The official style guide for Python says that there should be a space before and after each operator.
