A few weeks ago we created our first calculator in python<\/a> and in the previous post we learned to create our own functions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this week we are going to improve our calculator by creating functions for each of the arithmetic operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm sure you'll have as much fun as we do improving our calculator on Python<\/strong> and remember that if you want to continue learning you can do it with our master in Advanced Programming in Python for Big Data, Hacking and Machine Learning.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code from which we start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We start from this code, when we execute it we enter a loop while<\/em><\/strong> (if you don't know what it is, I'll explain it to you here<\/a>) where the calculator menu is shown. In this menu we have several options to perform arithmetic operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, we are going to create functions for each of the cases and thus, in this way, have a much neater code.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We start by declaring the variables as global number 1<\/em> and number2<\/em> to be able to use them in any function and we create the functions to add, subtract, multiply and divide <\/strong>They will receive two parameters that will be number 1 and 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the division function<\/strong> We create an if to validate that the value of \u201cb\u201d is not zero. If it is, we throw the error message because it cannot be divided by zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have omitted the change of numbers<\/strong> since on this occasion we will request the numbers every time we want to do an arithmetic operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the next section of code, we change to true<\/strong> the value to validate the while<\/em>, and we put each function in its place, calling the function first enterNumbers()<\/em><\/strong> and then to the function that performs the operation we have chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally we have added break<\/em><\/strong> to get out of the loop while<\/em> when the user decides. We leave you some screenshots with the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At EIP we continue learning how to create a calculator in Python. In this case, we see how to do them with functions for each operation.
