Console Calculator B2A (Beginner to Advanced) is a simple console-based calculator application designed as a learning project. It evolves gradually from a basic calculator into an advanced tool with more sophisticated features. The long-term goal is to progress toward a fully functional GUI-based calculator.
This project welcomes contributions and feedback to improve coding practices, add features, and refine the application. Testers and developers are encouraged to participate in identifying bugs, suggesting improvements, and helping it grow.
- Basic arithmetic operations:
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division (with division by zero handling)
- Simple, interactive console menu for operation selection
- Modular project structure with separation of concerns
- Centralized input handling and error reporting
- Self-contained .NET application (supports Windows systems)
- Modular folder structure (Operations, Requests, ErrorHandling)
- Replaced application icon from
ccico.icotoicon.ico(requires rebuilding executable) - Improved input validation and error messages
- Removed obsolete files for clarity and maintainability
- Add support for advanced operations (e.g., exponentiation, modulus, square root)
- Expand input validation and error handling
- Add unit tests for operations
- Refactor using interfaces for extensibility (
IOperation) - Transition to a GUI-based application
- Windows 64-bit operating system
- No additional dependencies (self-contained .NET runtime included)
- Download the latest release from the Releases page.
- Extract the contents of the ZIP file.
- Run
ConsoleCalculatorB2A.exeto start the application.
- Launch the calculator by running
ConsoleCalculatorB2A.exe. - Follow the interactive prompts to select a mathematical operation.
- Enter the required values when prompted.
- View results or return to the menu for further calculations.
