Arithmetic Operators

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Python journey. Lesson 10 of 77.

Operators are used to perform operations on values.

First we will discuss the most basic arithmetic operators, they may be familiar from math classes.

Let's see a usage example.

a = 3
b = 5
c = a + b # c holds 8

Challenge

Beginner

Write a code that initializes two variables, a and b, with the values 5.2 and 2.6 (respectively).

After that, initialize another variable c that will hold the result of a / b.

Try it yourself

# Type your code below


# Don't change the line below
print(f"a = {a}, b = {b}, c = {c}");
