Welcome back! Today, our fun coding journey will guide us through the world of arithmetic and logical operations. These fundamental concepts are frequently used in Python programming and significantly assist in performing calculations as well as making evaluations that direct decision-making in code. By the end of this lesson, you'll master performing basic arithmetic operations, such as adding the numbers of a high score or dividing measurements for a recipe. You'll also understand how to use logical operations to check multiple conditions simultaneously, a deciding factor in a program that, for instance, only permits access if a user has not been banned and has entered the correct credentials. Let's embark on this exciting journey!

Python enables us to seamlessly perform basic arithmetic operations — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — akin to how we would do them on paper. Let's open our CodeSignal IDE and work with these operations:

In this example, we conducted five basic arithmetic operations using Python operators and stored the results in correspondingly named variables such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and integer_division. We then printed the results. These operations essentially serve as the foundation for more intricate calculations in your code.
