Python Operators and Beginner Programming Concepts

A set of 38 vocabulary flashcards covering Python operators, functions, and basic programming concepts discussed in the lecture.

Operators

Symbols in Python that perform operations on variables and values.

Arithmetic Operators

Operators that carry out basic math calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Comparison Operators

Operators that compare two values and return a Boolean result (True or False).

Logical Operators

Operators (and, or, not) that combine or modify Boolean expressions.

Addition Operator (+)

Performs addition of two numbers.

Subtraction Operator (-)

Calculates the difference between two numbers.

Multiplication Operator (*)

Finds the product of two numbers.

Division Operator (/)

Returns the quotient of two numbers including decimals.

Floor Division Operator (//)

Performs division and returns only the integer part of the quotient.

Modulus Operator (%)

Returns the remainder of a division operation.

Exponentiation Operator (**)

Raises one number to the power of another.

Equal To Operator (==)

Checks if two values are exactly the same.

Not Equal To Operator (!=)

Checks if two values are different.

Greater Than Operator (>)

Tests whether the left operand is larger than the right operand.

Less Than Operator (<)

Tests whether the left operand is smaller than the right operand.

Greater Than or Equal Operator (>=)

Checks if the left operand is larger than or equal to the right operand.

Less Than or Equal Operator (<=)

Checks if the left operand is smaller than or equal to the right operand.

and Operator

Returns True only if both combined conditions are True.

or Operator

Returns True if at least one of the combined conditions is True.

not Operator

Reverses the Boolean value of a condition (True becomes False, and vice versa).

input() Function

Reads a line of user input as a string.

float() Function

Converts a value to a floating-point number.

int() Function

Converts a value to an integer.

print() Function

Outputs text or variable values to the console.

Division by Zero

An invalid operation in which a number is divided by 0; must be avoided or handled in code.

Even Number

An integer divisible by 2 with a remainder of 0.

Odd Number

An integer that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 2.

Product

The result of multiplying two numbers.

Sum

The result of adding two numbers.

Attendance Percentage

The ratio of classes attended to classes held, multiplied by 100.

total_classes Variable

Stores the number of classes held in the attendance program.

attended_classes Variable

Stores the number of classes a student actually attended.

if Statement

A control structure that executes code only when a specified condition is True.

else Statement

Provides an alternative block of code that runs when the if condition is False.

Condition

An expression that evaluates to True or False and determines program flow.

Remainder

The leftover part of a division operation, obtained with the modulus operator.

Boolean Result

The True or False outcome returned by comparison or logical operations.

Floor Division

Division that truncates the decimal portion, leaving only the integer part of the quotient.
