Make Python do the maths
Use +, -, * and / for arithmetic. // gives floor division, % gives a remainder and ** means power. Parentheses control the order, just like school maths.
हिन्दी में समझें
गणना के लिए +, -, *, / लगाएँ। // पूर्ण भागफल, % शेष और ** घात देता है। कोष्ठक से गणना का क्रम तय होता है।
अभ्यास: 2 की घात 5 का परिणाम प्रिंट करें।
Hinglish mein samjhein
Maths ke liye +, -, *, / use karo. // floor division, % remainder aur ** power hai. Brackets pehle calculate hote hain.
Practice: 2 ki power 5 print karo.
A small Python example
print(10 + 3)
print(10 % 3)
print(2 ** 3)The browser playground runs real Python with Pyodide. Use sample variables instead of interactive input(). Browser package support differs from desktop Python.
