Simple Calculator in C++ - Source Code

This post will create a simple calculator in C++. The first one use signs for deciding the operation and the next one uses characters for deciding the operation. You can further extend it and create a Scientific Calculator. Go enjoy the program. Lets begin……………

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a,c,ans;
char b;
//Input the numbers and operators save it in variables.
cout<<"Enter the 1st no.\n";
cin>>a;
cout<<"Enter the 2nd no.\n";
cin>>c;
cout<<"Enter + for addition\n";
cout<<"Enter - for substraction\n";
cout<<"Enter * for multiplication\n";
cout<<"Enter / for division\n";
cin>>b;
//conditional switch statement.
switch (b)
{
case '+':
ans=a+c;
break;
case '-':
ans=a-c;
break;
case 'x':
ans=a*c;
break;
case '/':
ans=a/c;
break;
default:
cout<<"Syntax Error";
}
//print the ans
cout<<"Ans = "<<ans<<"\n";
system ("pause");
}
Output
Enter the 1st no.
12
Enter the 2nd no.
5
Enter + for addition
Enter – for substraction
Enter x for multiplication
Enter / for division
x
Ans = 60
