Hello hello! Welcome back to Part 2 of the Python Basics! Next let's start with some basic operations

Basic Operations

There are four core operations, arithmetic, comparison, logical and assignment.

As before, let's go ahead and create a new file called operations.py

1.Arithmetic Operations

Arithmetic Operations are operations you can perform with numbers. Examples of these are:

Addition (+): Adds two numbers together.

result = 3 + 2 # result will be 5

Subtraction (-): Subtracts one number from another.

result = 3 - 2 # result will be 1

Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers.

result = 3 * 2 # result will be 6

Division (/): Divides one number by another.

result = 3 / 2 # result will be 1.5

Floor Division (//): Divides one number by another and rounds down to the nearest whole number.

result = 3 // 2 # result will be 1

Modulus (%): Gives the remainder of the division of two numbers.

result = 3 % 2 # result will be 1

Exponentiation (**): Raises one number to the power of another.

result = 3 ** 2 # result will be 9

Your Task

In a new file, let's call it operations.py, asign an output of each arithmetic operation above to a variable, and print each one out!
