<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-operator" title="operator: Functions corresponding to the standard operators."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">operator</span></code></a> module exports a set of efficient functions corresponding to
the intrinsic operators of Python. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">operator.add(x,</span> <span class="pre">y)</span></code> is
equivalent to the expression <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x+y</span></code>. Many function names are those used for
special methods, without the double underscores. For backward compatibility,
many of these have a variant with the double underscores kept. The variants
without the double underscores are preferred for clarity.</p>
<p>The functions fall into categories that perform object comparisons, logical
operations, mathematical operations and sequence operations.</p>
<p>The object comparison functions are useful for all objects, and are named after
the rich comparison operators they support:</p>

<h2>In-place Operators<a class="headerlink" href="#in-place-operators" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Many operations have an “in-place” version. Listed below are functions
providing a more primitive access to in-place operators than the usual syntax
does; for example, the <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-statement"><span class="xref std std-term">statement</span></a> <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span> <span class="pre">+=</span> <span class="pre">y</span></code> is equivalent to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">operator.iadd(x,</span> <span class="pre">y)</span></code>. Another way to put it is to say that
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">z</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">operator.iadd(x,</span> <span class="pre">y)</span></code> is equivalent to the compound statement
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">z</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">x;</span> <span class="pre">z</span> <span class="pre">+=</span> <span class="pre">y</span></code>.</p>
<p>In those examples, note that when an in-place method is called, the computation
and assignment are performed in two separate steps. The in-place functions
listed below only do the first step, calling the in-place method. The second
step, assignment, is not handled.</p>
<p>For immutable targets such as strings, numbers, and tuples, the updated
value is computed, but not assigned back to the input variable:</p>
<div class="doctest highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">a</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'hello'</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">iadd</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">a</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">' world'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">'hello world'</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">a</span>
<span class="go">'hello'</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For mutable targets such as lists and dictionaries, the in-place method
will perform the update, so no subsequent assignment is necessary:</p>
<div class="doctest highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">s</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'h'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'e'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'l'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'l'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'o'</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">iadd</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">s</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">' '</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'w'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'o'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'r'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'l'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'d'</span><span class="p">])</span>
<span class="go">['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']</span>
