Logical Operators Used to combine multiple conditions. The main logical operators are AND, OR, and NOT.
Assignment Operators Used to assign values to variables and update their values. Examples include =, +=, -=, and *=.
Membership Operators Used to check whether a particular value exists in a sequence or collection. The main operators are in and not in.
Identity Operators Used to check whether two variables refer to the same object. The main operators are is and is not.
Bitwise Operators Used to perform operations on binary numbers. They include AND, OR, XOR, NOT, left shift, and right shift.
In Short
