Python as a Calculator

We can use Python as a quick and handy calculator. We can perform all the basic four operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in Python.

Examples

To add 4 and 2, use +
```
4 + 2
```
It returns 6
To subtract 2 from 4, use -
```
4 - 2
```
It returns 2
To multiply 4 and 2, use *
```
4 * 2
```
It returns 8
To divide two integers 5 by 2, use / to get the complete value and // to get the integer value
```
5 // 2
```
It returns 2
```
5 / 2
```
It returns 2.5
Every line of the code is called expression.

4 + 2 is one expression and 4 - 2 is another expression.

Run above expressions in the Jupyter notebook on the right-hand side and make yourself comfortable with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in Python. Remember to execute the cell in the notebook, press Shift + Enter
