Introduction
Creating a calculator using C programming requires understanding of
mathematical operations and user interface. It involves designing a
program for efficient arithmetic operations and user-friendly
interactivity.
In the C of programming, calculators serve as indispensable tools for
performing mathematical calculations efficiently. Building your own
calculator program not only enhances your understanding of
fundamental programming concepts but also provides you with a
practical application to solve mathematical problems.
In this article, we will explore the process of creating a calculator
program in the C programming language. We will take you through
the step-by-step development of a calculator that can perform basic
arithmetic operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division. Additionally, we will expand the functionality by
incorporating more advanced operations, such as exponentiation and
square root calculations.
Throughout the article, we will provide clear explanations and code
examples, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced
programmers. By following along, you will gain a deeper
understanding of core programming concepts, such as user input,
control flow, and function implementation.

Basic’s of calculator software :-

Basic Arithmetic Operations

  Addition
Implementing the addition functionality to ensure accurate and
efficient calculations.

 Subtraction
Enabling users to perform subtraction with precision and error
handling.

 Multiplication
Designing a reliable method for multiplying numbers while
considering memory optimization.

 Division
Creating a division feature with error handling for edge cases such as
zero division.
In this program, four separate functions (add, subtract, multiply, and
divide) are defined to perform the corresponding arithmetic
operations. The main function prompts the user to enter an operator
(+, -, *, or /) and two numbers. The switch case statement is then used
to determine the chosen operator and call the appropriate function.
The result of the calculation is stored in the result variable and
displayed on the screen. The program handles invalid operators
gracefully and terminates execution if an error occurs during division
by zero.
 Implementing User Input and Output
 User Input :-
Adding functionality for users to input numbers and select arithmetic
operations.
 User Output :-

Displaying the calculation results in a clear and user-friendly manner.

Memory Management and Optimization

 Efficient Memory Usage :-
Optimizing memory allocation to ensure efficient usage and avoid
memory leaks.
 Code Optimization :-

Reviewing and refining the code for optimal performance and

resource utilization.

Testing and Debugging the Calculator Program

 Unit Testing :-
Conducting rigorous tests to ensure the correctness of each arithmetic
operation.

 Debugging :-

Identifying and resolving logical and runtime errors systematically.

 User Testing :-
Gathering feedback through user testing for the calculator’s ease of
use and accuracy.
  Program code :-
#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

float calculate(float num1, float num2, char opt);

void main()

{ char opt;

floatnum1, num2;

float result;

do {

printf(“Choose an operator (+, -, *, /) to perform an operation in

C calculator:\n”);

scanf(“ %s”, &opt);

printf(“Enter the first number: “);

scanf(“%f”, &num1);

printf(“Enter the second number: “);

scanf(“%f”, &num2);

result = calculate(num1, num2, opt);

printf(“Result: %.2f\n”, result);

printf(“Do you want to perform another calculation? (Y/n): “);

scanf(“ %s”, &opt);

while (opt == ‘Y’ || opt == ‘y’);

printf(“Calculator program ended.\n”); getch(); }

float calculate(float num1, float num2, char opt)

{ float result; switch (opt) { case ‘+’:

result = num1 + num2;

break; case ‘-‘:

result = num1 – num2;

break;

case ‘*’:

result= num1 *

num2;

break;

case ‘/’:

if (num2 == 0)

{ printf(“\nDivisor cannot be zero\

n”);

return 0; }

result = (float)num1 /num2;

break;

default:

printf(“You entered a wrong

operator\n”); return 0; }

return result;

}
Output:-
 Applications of simple calculator

Simple calculator with basic arithmetic operations such as

addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be used
in various .

Basic Math: Performing simple arithmetic calculations like

adding up grocery expenses, subtracting discounts,
multiplying recipe ingredients, or dividing portions.everyday
situations:

Educational Purposes: Helping students learn and practice

basic math operations, especially at the elementary or middle
school level.

Programming Practice: Implementing a simple calculator

can be a good exercise for beginners learning programming
languages.

Budgeting: Quick calculations for personal finance

management, such as tracking expenses, budget planning, and
calculating savings goals.
 Conclusion and Next Steps

A simple user interface has been created to demonstrate the

calculator. The interface addresses the problem of allowing
the user to view a (potentially time consuming) calculation as
it proceeds but also giving an answer which can be used or
checked, by outputting signed digits as they are computed and
then converting the result into decimal when some specified
precision is reached.
After completing the calculator program, the next steps
involve documenting the code, distributing the application,
and gathering user feedback for future improvements.
