Operators and Readability

Python provides operators for mathematical calculations. Most work exactly like you'd expect from math class, but a few have special behaviors. Special Operators Python has three additional arithmetic operators that are incredibly useful: Floor division for whole numbers: 125 minutes = 2 complete hours. 45 items = 4 complete pages of 10. Modulo for remainders: Order of Operations Python follows the standard mathematical order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction. Result is 14, not 20. Multiplication happens first (3 * 4 = 12), then addition (2 + 12 = 14). When in doubt, use parentheses for clarity. Comments and Readable Code Comments are notes in your code that Python completely ignores. They exist only for humans reading the code. W
