Symbols and Operators

What are Symbols and Operators?

• Symbols are special characters used in Python to represent operations or actions.

• Operators are symbols that perform specific operations on variables and values.

Example:

a = 10          ->  a and b are operands
b = 5           ->  = is an assignment operator

c = a + b       ->  + is an arithmetic operator
