Python's binary operators

Here’s what these binary operators do:

• + - Adds the left operand to the right operand
• - - Subtracts the right operand from the left one
• * - Multiplies one operand by the other
• ** - Multiplies the left operand by itself the number of times specified by the right operand, in exponentiation
• / - Divides the left operand by the right operand, yielding a floating-point number
• // - Integer or floor division, divides the left operand by the right operand then rounds the result to the nearest whole number
• % - Modulus, calculates the remainder of a division operation

Note that both + and - also have unary counterparts. In this case, the - operator flips the sign of the number. The + operator does nothing but exists for symmetry
