1.5.2 Operators

Python has the following operators:

• Arithmetic and bitwise operators

+ - * / % ** ~ << >> & ^ |

• Relational and logical operators

is in < <= > >= == != not and or

• Assignments

= += -= *= /= %= **= <<= >>= &= ^= |=

• Other operators

() [ ] { } [:] `` . lambda

1.5.3 Compound statements

• Statements that belong to the same logical group are indented by the same amount of white

space:

if a > 0:

b = 1

c = 2

Usually, each statement starts on a new line.

• A statement is continued by putting a backslash \ at the end of a line. This isn't necessary if

there are still parentheses (or brackets or braces) open:

my_list = [1, # open bracket, statement continues

['abc', 2], # nested list

-3+6j] # closed outermost bracket, statement ends

print my_list
