Comparison and Arithmetic operators

The standard arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) work with all Python numeric types. The // operator gives an integer quotient, (for example, 3 // 2 returns 1), the exponent operator is x ** y, and the modulus operator, given by a % b, returns the remainder of the division a/b. The comparison operators (<, <=, >, >=, ==, and !=) work with numbers, strings, lists, and other collection objects and return True if the condition holds. For collection objects, these operators compare the number of elements and the equivalence operator == b returns True if each collection object is structurally equivalent, and the value of each element is identical.
