Other than the standard + , - , * and / operators; but what does these mean ( ** , ^ , % , // ) ? >>> 9+float(2) # addition 11.0 >>> 9-float(2) # subtraction 7.0 >>> 9*float(2) # multiplication 18.0 >>> 9/float(2) # division 4.5 >>> >>> 9**float(2) # This looks like a square, (i.e. power 2) 81.0 >>> 9**float(3) # So ** is equivalent to `math.pow(x,p)` ? 729.0 How about the ^ operator? >>> 9^int(2) # What is `^` in `x^u` , it only allows `int` for `u` 11 >>> 9^int(3) 10 >>> 9^int(4) 13 >>> 9^int(5) 12 >>> 9^int(6) 15 >>> 9^int(7) 14 >>> 9^int(8) 1 >>> 9^int(9) 0 >>> 9^int(10) 3 >>> 9^int(11) 2 >>> 9^int(12) 5 % in x%m returns a normal remainder modulus, but only if m < x , why is that so? What does % do? >>> 9%float(2) 1.0 >>> 9%float(3) 0.0 >>> 9%float(4) 1.0 >>> 9%float(5) 4.0 >>> 9%float(6) 3.0 >>> 9%float(7) 2.0 >>> 9%float(8) 1.0 >>> 9%float(9) 0.0 >>> 9%float(10) 9.0 >>> 9%float(11) 9.0 >>> 9%float(12) 9.0 How about the // operator? what does it do? >>> 9//float(2) 4.0 >>> 9//float(3) 3.0 >>> 9//float(4) 2.0 >>> 9//float(5) 1.0 >>> 9//float(6) 1.0 >>> 9//float(7) 1.0 >>> 9//float(8) 1.0 >>> 9//float(9) 1.0 >>> 9//float(1) 9.0 >>> 9//float(0.5) 18.0
