how to make a calculator with python code example
Example 1: how to make a calculator using idle
def calculate():
operation = input('''
Please type in the math operation you would like to complete:
+ for addition
- for subtraction
* for multiplication
/ for division
''')
number_1 = int(input('Please enter the first number: '))
number_2 = int(input('Please enter the second number: '))
if operation == '+':
print('{} + {} = '.format(number_1, number_2))
print(number_1 + number_2)
elif operation == '-':
print('{} - {} = '.format(number_1, number_2))
print(number_1 - number_2)
elif operation == '*':
print('{} * {} = '.format(number_1, number_2))
print(number_1 * number_2)
elif operation == '/':
print('{} / {} = '.format(number_1, number_2))
print(number_1 / number_2)
else:
print('You have not typed a valid operator, please run the program again.')
# Add again() function to calculate() function
again()
def again():
calc_again = input('''
Do you want to calculate again?
Please type Y for YES or N for NO.
''')
if calc_again.upper() == 'Y':
calculate()
elif calc_again.upper() == 'N':
print('See you later.')
else:
again()
calculate()
Example 2: calculator code
x = input("first number")
y = input("second number")
z = input("do you want to multiply, minus, divide or add? (x,-,/,+)")
y = int(y)
x = int(x)
if z == "+":
print (x + y)
if z == "/":
print (x / y)
if z == "x":
print (x * y)
if z == "-":
print (x - y)
else:
print("use x,-,/ or + next time!")
