+ - * / % // **
- Addition 
- Subtraction 
- Multiplication 
- Divide 
- Modulo 
- Floor Division 
- Exponential 
Addition
print(10 + 20)30
Substruction
print(20 - 10)10
Multiplication
print(3 * 5)15
Divide
print(7/2)3.5
Modulo
This will do the normal division and return the remainder as in mathematics.
print(7%2)3
print(14 % 8)6
Floor Division
This will return a quotient, or you can say it will return the integer and ignore the decimal part.
print(7 // 2)3
print(8 // 3)2
Exponential
It is just the power. Here 2 to the power 3 that will be 8.
print(2 ** 3)
8
print(7 ** 3) # this will be 7 to the power 3
343
That’s it for the Arithmetic Operators.
