Project Report: Simple Calculator
Introduc on
The Simple Calculator project represents a
fundamental explora on into web development
using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a basic
yet func onal calculator applica on. In today's
digital era, calculators have become an essen al
tool for various tasks, from simple arithme c
calcula ons to more complex mathema cal
opera ons. The primary objec ve of this project is
to provide users with a straigh orward and
intui ve pla orm for performing arithme c
calcula ons conveniently within a web browser.
With the prolifera on of internet-enabled devices,
web applica ons offer unparalleled accessibility
and convenience. By leveraging the power of
front-end technologies, this project aims to
harness the ubiquity of web browsers to deliver a
versa le calculator solu on that can be accessed
any me, anywhere, without the need for
installa on or downloads.
Objec ves
To design a user-friendly calculator interface.
To implement basic arithme c opera ons:
addi on, subtrac on, mul plica on, and
division.
To handle user input and display the result
accurately.
Technologies Used
HTML: Markup language for crea ng the
structure of the calculator.
CSS: Stylesheet language for designing the
visual appearance of the calculator.
JavaScript: Programming language for
implemen ng the calculator's func onality.
Features
User-friendly interface: The calculator
interface is designed to be intui ve and easy
to use.
Basic arithme c opera ons: Addi on,
subtrac on, mul plica on, and division are
supported.
Error handling: The calculator can handle
invalid input and display error messages
accordingly.
Implementa on Details
HTML Structure
The HTML file (index.html) contains the
structure of the calculator interface, including
input fields and bu ons.
CSS Styling
CSS stylesheets (style.css) are used to
customize the appearance of the calculator,
including layout, colours, and fonts.
JavaScript Func onality
JavaScript func ons handle user interac ons
and perform arithme c calcula ons.
Func ons include:
appendToDisplay(value): Appends the
pressed bu on value to the display.
clearDisplay(): Clears the display.
calculate(): Evaluates the expression
entered by the user and displays the
result.
Tes ng
The calculator applica on was tested
extensively to ensure that all bu ons func on
correctly and arithme c calcula ons produce
accurate results.
Various test cases were used to validate the
error handling mechanism, including division
by zero and invalid expressions.
Conclusion
The Simple Calculator project successfully
achieved its objec ves of crea ng a user-friendly
calculator applica on using HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. The project provides a basic yet
func onal tool for performing arithme c
calcula ons and demonstrates the integra on of
front-end technologies to build interac ve web
applica ons.
Future Enhancements
Addi on of more advanced func ons such as
exponen a on and square root.
Improving the user interface with addi onal
styling and anima ons.
Implemen ng memory func ons for storing
and recalling previous calcula ons.
