Learn how to make Python perform calculations, compare values, and combine logic. You'll master the three essential types of operators—arithmetic, comparison, and logical—going from basic math to building compound conditional statements that power real decisions in your code.
- The seven arithmetic operators and when to use each one
- How to compare values and get True/False results
- Combining conditions with logical operators (and, or, not)
- Operator precedence and why parentheses matter
- The difference between
=and== - Using AI to debug operator mistakes and understand logic errors
- Completed Stream 2 (variables and data types)
- Understanding of variables and the four basic data types
- Python and VS Code installed
- GitHub Copilot Chat configured (optional but recommended)
- Addition (
+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*) - Division (
/) vs Floor Division (//) - Modulus (
%) - Exponentiation (
**) - Operator precedence (order of operations)
- When to use parentheses for clarity
- Equal to:
== - Not equal to:
!= - Greater than:
> - Less than:
< - Greater than or equal to:
>= - Less than or equal to:
<= - Understanding that comparisons return booleans
and- both conditions must be Trueor- at least one condition must be Truenot- flips True/False- Combining multiple conditions
- Logical operator precedence
- Using AI to understand operator precedence
- Debugging
=vs==mistakes - Building complex logical conditions with AI help
- Understanding modulus with practical examples
- Using
=instead of== - Forgetting operator precedence
- Mixing up
and/orlogic - Division confusion (
/vs//) - Not understanding modulus
- Comparison chain confusion
