Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic Operators are the most commonly used mathematic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Below program implements all the different types of Arithmetic Operations one can use in Python.

def addition(x, y):
    print("Performing Addition")
    return x + y

def subtraction(x, y):
    print("Performing Subtraction")
    return x - y

def multiplication(x, y):
    print("Performing Multiplication")
    return x * y

def division(x, y):
    print("Performing Division")
    return x / y

def modulus(x, y):
    print("Performing Modulus")
    return x % y

def exponential(x, y):
    print("Performing Exponentiation")
    return x ** y

    # You can alternatively use input() to fetch values from user.
    a = 3
    b = 2

    # Addition
    add = addition(a, b)
    print(add)
    print("\n")

    # Subtraction
    sub = subtraction(a, b)
    print(sub)
    print("\n")

    # Multiplication
    mul = multiplication(a, b)
    print(mul)
    print("\n")

    # Division
    div = division(a, b)
    print(div)
    print("\n")

    # Modulus
    mod = modulus(a, b)
    print(mod)
    print("\n")

    # Exponential
    exp = exponential(a, b)
    print(exp)
    print("\n")
