4. Architecture

4.1 Architecture:
The overall architecture of the project follows a Model-View-Controller (MVC) design
pattern, which separates the application into three main components:

1. Model: The model represents the application's data and business logic. In this
project, the model consists of classes responsible for performing arithmetic
calculations, handling user input, and managing memory operations.
2. View: The view represents the user interface (UI) of the application. It
includes components such as buttons, text fields, and labels that allow users to
interact with the calculator. In this project, the view is implemented using Java
Swing components, providing a graphical interface for input and output.
3. Controller: The controller acts as an intermediary between the model and the
view. It handles user input events, delegates tasks to the model for processing,
and updates the view with the results. In this project, the controller is
implemented as event listeners attached to UI components, such as buttons, to
respond to user actions.

The MVC architecture promotes separation of concerns and modularity, making the
codebase easier to understand, maintain, and extend. It also facilitates code reuse and
testing by decoupling the UI from the underlying logic.

4.2 User Interface

The design and layout of the user interface (UI) aim to provide users with an intuitive
and user-friendly experience for performing arithmetic calculations. The UI consists
of the following elements:

1. Input Area: A text field or display area where users can input numbers and
view calculation results.
2. Numeric Buttons: Buttons labeled with numbers (0-9) that allow users to
input numerical values.
3. Operation Buttons: Buttons labeled with arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) and
additional functions (exponentiation, square root, percentage, memory) that
enable users to perform calculations.
4. Clear and Equals Buttons: Special buttons for clearing the input field (C) and
executing the calculation (=).
5. Layout and Styling: The UI is organized and styled to enhance readability
and usability. Components are arranged logically, with proper spacing and
alignment to improve visual clarity.

6. Responsive Design: The UI is designed to be responsive and adaptable to

different screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring consistent usability across
devices and platforms.

5. Implementation

5.1 Features
Main Features and Functionalities:

1. Basic Arithmetic Operations: The calculator supports standard arithmetic

operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
2. User-Friendly Interface: The calculator provides an intuitive and user-
friendly interface with buttons for numbers (0-9) and operations, along with a
display area for input and output.
3. Error Handling: Proper error handling is implemented to handle scenarios
such as division by zero and other mathematical errors. Informative error
messages are displayed to the user when necessary.

5.2 Code Structure

Organization and Structure of the Codebase:

The codebase is organized into the following key components:

1. Main Class (GUI_Calculator.java): This class serves as the entry point of the
application and contains the main program logic, including the creation of the
GUI and event handling.
2. Controller: Event listeners are implemented as inner classes within the main
class to handle user interactions with the GUI components, such as button clicks.
3. Model: The model consists of classes responsible for performing arithmetic
calculations, handling user input, and managing memory operations. These
classes encapsulate the application's data and business logic.
4. View: The view component is represented by the GUI elements created using
Java Swing, including buttons, text fields, and labels.

5.3 Algorithms
Logic and Algorithms Used:

1. Arithmetic Operations: Standard algorithms for addition, subtraction,

multiplication, and division are used to perform arithmetic calculations based on
user input.
2. Exponentiation and Square Root: The Math.pow() and Math.sqrt()
methods are utilized to calculate exponentiation and square root, respectively.
3. Percentage Calculation: Percentage calculation is implemented using a
simple formula: (value * percentage) / 100.
4. Memory Functions: Memory functions (M+, M-, MR, MC) are implemented
using variables to store and retrieve values from memory.
