Using an operator to add in Python

Question

Consider:

operator.add(a, b)

I\'m having trouble understanding what this does. An operator is something like +-*/, so what doe

Answer 1

It does the same, it's just a function version of the operator in the Python operator module. It returns the result, so you would just it like this:

result = operator.add(a, b)

This is functionally equivalent to

result = a + b
