# Operators

In this Lecture, you'll learn everything about different types of operators in Python, their syntax and how to use them with examples

Operators are special symbols that perform computations on values (operands).

```python
result = 5 + 3  # 8
```

## Operator Groups

* Arithmetic
* Comparison
* Logical
* Assignment
* Identity
* Membership
* Bitwise

## Notes

* Some operators return numbers, others return booleans.
* Operator precedence affects how expressions are evaluated.
