Operator Spotlight
Python uses symbols for math. Click on the highlighted operator in each expression below to learn its name.
Identify all operators!
Calculation Simulator
Use the `print()` function to perform simple calculations. Try things like `print(100 + 50)`, `print(25 * 4)`, or `print(30 / 5)`. Click "Run Simulation" to see the result.
Order of Operations
Python follows mathematical order of operations (like PEMDAS/BODMAS). In the expression below, click on the operator (`+` or `*`) that Python will calculate first. Then click "Check Answer".
Predict the Output
Calculate the result of the following Python code in your head or on paper, considering operator precedence. Type your predicted answer in the box and check it.
Numerical Mini Missions!
Apply your knowledge! Complete these coding tasks involving arithmetic operators. Use the simulated output to check your results.
Mission 1: Rectangle Area
Write a Python command using `print()` to calculate the area of a rectangle with width `12` and height `5`. (Area = width * height).
Mission 2: Average Score
Calculate the average of three test scores: `85`, `92`, and `78`. Use `print()` and remember parentheses might be needed for correct order!
Mission 3: Division Details
Use two separate `print()` commands. The first should show the result of `17` floor divided by `5` (`//`). The second should show the remainder of `17` divided by `5` (`%`).
