Assignment Operators in Python

In all programming languages you will find assignment operators. Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables. In this tutorial I will show you the assignment operators available in Python.

Now, let’s see the assignment operators in Python:

Operator Example Equivalent
= x = 5 x = 5
+= x += 5 x = x + 5
-= x -= 5 x = x – 5
*= x *= 5 x = x * 5
/= x /= 5 x = x / 5
%= x %= 5 x = x % 5
//= x //= 5 x = x // 5
**= x **= 5 x = x ** 5
&= x &= 15 x = x & 15
|= x |= 15 x = x | 15
^= x ^= 15 x = x ^ 15
>>= x >>= 1 x = x >> 1
<<= x <<= 1 x = x << 1

Python Code with assignment & arithmetic operators:

x=5
y=6
z=x+y
print(z)

Output:

11
