How to make a calculator in Python?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week we talked to you about the while loops in Python<\/a>, its characteristics and operation. Well, this week let's make use of them<\/strong> and we are going to schedule a simple calculator<\/strong> to practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to continue learning about programming you can do so at EIP<\/a> with our master in Advanced Programming in Python for Big Data, Hacking and Machine Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We begin by collecting the two numbers with which our calculator<\/strong> is going to work, we create a variable for the selection of the operation that we want our calculator to perform and we create our loop<\/strong> with the list of options where the condition would be the user's choice to exit the program by pressing option 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After in operation function <\/strong>that you want to perform, would fall within one option or another of our 'if' or 'elif' conditional statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In option 4, division we convert the result into float<\/strong><\/em> to be able to print decimals, since otherwise it will only print the integer part, ignoring all decimals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are going to put it to the test,<\/strong>\u00a0We enter the numbers 7 and 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's add them up, so we mark option 1 of our fantastic calculator<\/strong> and since we are wonderful programmers, it prints the line with the result of the sum, 7 + 3 = 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We try the rest of the operations and we see that they all work like a charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The option 5<\/strong> It allows us to change the numbers to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the last option turns off our calculator by printing the goodbye message.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
