The Calculator Application is a Python script designed using GUI to calculate scientific mathematical problems such as Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division.

Calculator Application

Overview

The Calculator Application is a simple Python-based calculator that provides basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It offers a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for performing mathematical calculations.

Features

• User-Friendly Interface: The calculator features a clean and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to input and evaluate mathematical expressions.
• Basic Arithmetic Operations: Users can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations with ease.
• Immediate Evaluation: The calculator provides immediate evaluation of expressions when the "Equals" button is pressed.
• Clear Function: Users can clear the input field and start a new calculation with a single click on the "Clear" button.

Implementation

The Calculator Application is implemented in Python, utilizing the tkinter library for creating the GUI components. It includes the following components:

• Entry Field: The input field where users can enter mathematical expressions.
• Buttons: Buttons for digits 0-9, decimal point, and arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /), as well as "Equals" and "Clear" buttons.
• Functions: The application includes functions for evaluating expressions, appending characters to the input field, and clearing the input field.

To run the application: 1. Save the script to a .py file. 2. Open a terminal or command prompt. 3. Navigate to the directory containing the script. 4. Run the script using the command: python calculator.py.

The calculator will appear on the screen, and you can start performing calculations.

Future Enhancements

• Memory Functions: Add support for memory functions (e.g., M+, M-, MR) to store and recall results.
• Scientific Calculator: Enhance the calculator with scientific functions such as trigonometry, logarithms, and exponentiation.
• History Log: Implement a history log to keep track of previous calculations.
