Sample Code Snippet (Division):
if (double.TryParse(txtNum1.Text, out double num1) &&
double.TryParse(txtNum2.Text, out double num2))
{
if (num2 != 0)
lblResult.Text = "Quotient: " + (num1 / num2).ToString();
else
MessageBox.Show("Cannot divide by zero");
}

{
MessageBox.Show("Please enter valid numbers.");
