This chapter will expand our understanding of programming by introducing types and literals. We鈥檒l also learn about two additional arithmetic operators: floor division using the // operator (also called Euclidean division or integer division), and the modulo operator % (also called the remainder operator). Please note that the modulo operator has nothing to do with calculating percentages鈥攖his is a common confusion for beginners.

Learning objectives

  • You will learn how to use the assignment operator and how to create and name variables.
  • You will learn how to use the addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation operators.
  • You will learn the difference between and use cases of division and Euclidian division (integer division).
  • You will learn how to use the remainder or 鈥渕odulo鈥� operator.
  • You will learn operator precedence in Python.
