Could someone show me the source code to a simple calculator for the 4 basic arithmetic functions in C?
I'm wanting to build one, but I want to see a really simple one and look over the code to see if i can enhance it. I think trying to read code samples while learning it will help me understand C a lot better.
Translation: I'm too lazy and/or stupid to write my own, so I want you to write it for me so i can "enhance it".
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
No, I only wanted to see how one was made. I'll attempt one and I'll post if I need help. My apologies, if that came off wrong.
does it take in multiple operands and operators at all at the same time? and use parentheses? well then, an RPN (using stack ADT) calculator is the best solution to you problem. where to find it, try google and forum search.
and bear with quzah, he's the resident "mr. nice guy" here.
It is not who I am inside but what I do that defines me.
Thanks.
What type of programs can you make in C? Is it mainly mathmatical programs?
You can make any kind of program in C.
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
hey, im no expert here. but i think you can make almost any type of program in c. almost because c isnt a "modern age" language. you cant make 3d graphic games with c, with surround sound and etc... u get what i mean?
but it's a very good "academic" language, as my professor puts it.

Actually, the opposite seems to be true: making mathematical programs in C can be quite difficult, such as the one members are working on in the current contest. One reason is because the standard math library provides some neat calculations and some constants, but that's it. To me, this means that math isn't a huge part of C's job. As your course progresses, you'll write stuff that has nothing to do with math at all.
alpha im not being rude but do one yourself! start with the basics, post back progress when you get stuck with something and someone will help.
- read in one number (float)
- read in one char (for operator / * + or -)
- read in one number (float)
display the result of the two numbers after the appropriate operation is applied
play around with code, in ur example, scanf will be your best friend

7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
lol... ok, assuming ur not a novice, u can use fgets and sscanf
