Python

Question

I am learning python, and I don't understand **, // and %
Examples: 3**5, 6//2, 8%7
Could you explain me those operations?

Answer 1

These and other arithmetic operations are documented here: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-complex

Answer 2

** is power operation
2**3 means 2*2*2
// is whole number division
8//3 is 2
in python the sign of true division is /
8/3 is 2.66666
% is modulo, it returns the remainder of the division.
8%7 is 1, because 8//7is 1 and remains 1.
better example
10%7 is 3 (10//7 is 1, remainder is 3)

Answer 3

Ooh, okay, thank you!
