Arithmetic operators in Python allow you to perform basic mathematical calculations on numeric values. These operators include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more.

1. Addition (+): Adds two numbers.
2. Subtraction (-): Subtracts the right operand from the left operand.
3. Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers.
4. Division (/): Divides the left operand by the right operand (results in a floating-point number).
5. Floor Division (//): Divides the left operand by the right operand and rounds down to the nearest whole number.
6. Modulus (%): Returns the remainder of the division of the left operand by the right operand.
7. Exponentiation ():** Raises the left operand to the power of the right operand.

a = 5
b = 3
result = a + b
print(result)  # Output: 8

x = 10
y = 7
result = x - y
print(result)  # Output: 3
