Arithmetic Operators

In mathematics, we can take values which are like variables, and utilize arithmetic operators to perform calculations. For simple calculations, I tried these out at the Python command prompt, the results are in the right-most column.

Symbol	Function	Example
**	Exponentiation	>>> 2**3 8
*	Multiplication	>>> 2*2 4
/	Division	>>> 9/3 3.0
%	Modulus	>>> 10%3 1
//	Floor Division	>>> 26//4 6
+	Addition	>>> 1+2 3
-	Subtraction	>>> 1-2 -1
