SIMPLE
CALCULATOR
Project Description:
The Simple Calculator project in C is a basic
application that performs arithmetic operations
such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division.
It provides a user-friendly interface for entering
operands and operators and displays the result of
the operation.
This project is suitable for beginners learning C
programming and can be extended to include more
advanced features like scientific calculations.
Features:
User-friendly interface for input and output.
Supports basic arithmetic operations.
Handles error cases like division by zero.
Ability to perform continuous calculations until the
user decides to exit
Algorithm for Simple
Calculator
Input the Operation
Prompt the user to enter an operation (+, -, *, or /) to indicate
addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
Input Numbers
Ask the user to enter two numbers, num1 and num2.
Perform the Calculation
Use conditional statements to check which operation was
entered and perform the corresponding calculation:
o If the operation is +, compute result = num1 + num2
o If the operation is -, compute result = num1 - num2
o If the operation is *, compute result = num1 * num2
o If the operation is /, check if num2 is not zero:
If num2 is zero, display an error message ("Division
by zero is undefined")
Otherwise, compute result = num1 / num2
Display the Result
Output the result of the operation.
Option to Continue
Ask if the user wants to perform another calculation. If yes,
repeat from step 1; if no, end the program.
ABOUT SOURCE CODE :
Here's the source code for a simple calculator
program in C. This program performs basic
arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division) based on user
input.
RESULT
LEARNING OUTPUT :
Understanding Basic Arithmetic Operations:
Demonstrating an understanding of addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Working with User Input:
Capturing and processing user input effectively,
including validation of numeric inputs.
Implementing Control Flow:
Using conditional statements to handle different
operations based on user input (e.g., choosing between
addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division).
Error Handling:
Implementing error-handling mechanisms for common
issues, such as division by zero or invalid input.
Displaying Output:
Showing the calculation result clearly and accurately
for each operation performed.
Basic Code Structure and Modularity:
Structuring code in a clear, modular format that’s easy
to read and understand, potentially using functions for
each operation.
Testing and Debugging:
Testing the calculator with various inputs to ensure that
it performs correctly across all operations and
conditions.
