Advanced Operators in Python

Introduction

 

In this article, I will explain advanced operators in Python.

 

Definition

 

In Python, advanced operators use symbols that represent some operations that can be performed on data. They are different types of operators in Python. There are:

1. Unary operators
2. Boolean operators
3. Identity operators
4. Membership operator
5. Bitwise operator

Unary operators

1. + Increment operator
2. - Decrement operator

These operators use only one operand.so it is called the unary operator. We use keywords (+,-) to increase and decrease the value.

 

operators	operations
++x	Pre-Increment
--x	Pre-Decrement
x++	Post Increment
x--	Post Decrement

 

Syntax

 

Variable Unary operators

 

Example

#Unary operators
a=10
print(a)
a+=2#Increment operator
print(a)
a-=5#Decrement operator
print(a)

Output

 

 

Boolean operators

 

In Python, to find a given statement is true (or) false to this keyword and, or, not are Boolean operators.

 

There are two types of Boolean operators:

1. True
2. False

Syntax

 

Variable 1 any operators variable 2

 

Example

#Boolean operators
print (True and True)
print (True and False)
print (False and True)
print (False and False)

Output

 

 

Identity operators

 

In Python, identity operators are used to compare and see if two objects are the same object (or) a different object with the same memory. The using keywords (is, is not) are used to compare two objects.

 

operators	operations
is	Same object
is not	Not object is different

 

Syntax

 

Variable 1 identity operators variable 2

 

Example

#Identity operators
x = ["red", "black"]
y = ["red", "blue"]
z = x

print(x is z)
# z is the same object as x
print(x is not y)
#x is not the same object as y

Output

 

 

Membership operator

 

In Python, membership operators are used to give a statement that is present in the object (or) not. We use the keywords (in, in not) to verify the statement.

 

operators	operations
in	Value is present in the object
in not	Value is not present in the object

 

Syntax

 

variable 1 membership operator variable 2

 

Example

#Membership operator
x = ["red", "blue"]
print("red" in x)
print("green" not in x)
#The value "red" is in the list
#The value "green" is not in the list

Output

 

 

Bitwise operator

 

In Python, bitwise operators are used to compare binary numbers.

 

operators	operations
&	AND
|	OR
^	XOR
~	NOT
<<	Zero fill left shift
>>	Signed right shift

 

Syntax

 

Variable 1 membership operator variable 2

 

Example

#bitwise operator
a = 10
b = -10
#bitwise AND operation
print("a & b =", a & b)
#bitwise OR operation
print("a | b =", a | b)
#bitwise NOT operation
print("~a =", ~a)
#bitwise XOR operation
print("a ^ b =", a ^ b)
#bitwise right shift operator
print("a >> 1 =", a >> 1)
print("b >> 1 =", b >> 1)
#bitwise left shift operator
print("a << 1 =", a << 1)
print("b << 1 =", b << 1)

Output
