Build a Simple Calculator Website

Introduction

Hello, fellow developers! I'm thrilled to share my latest project: a Simple Calculator. This project is a perfect way to explore the basics of JavaScript, especially in handling mathematical operations, updating the DOM dynamically, and creating an interactive user interface. Whether you're new to web development or looking to sharpen your JavaScript skills, this Simple Calculator project is a great starting point.

Project Overview

The Simple Calculator is a web-based application that allows users to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This project highlights how to create a responsive and user-friendly interface while efficiently handling user inputs to perform calculations.

Features

• Intuitive Interface: Clean and straightforward design for easy interaction.
• Basic Arithmetic Operations: Supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Clear and Delete Functionality: Users can clear the input or delete the last entry with a single click.
• Responsive Design: Ensures consistent usability across different devices and screen sizes.

Technologies Used

• HTML: Structures the web page and input elements.
• CSS: Styles the calculator interface, ensuring a clean and responsive design.
• JavaScript: Manages the calculation logic and user interactions.

Project Structure

Here's a quick look at the project structure:

Simple-Calculator/
├── index.html
├── styles.css
└── script.js

• index.html: Contains the HTML structure for the Simple Calculator.
• styles.css: Includes CSS styles to enhance the appearance and responsiveness of the calculator.
• script.js: Manages the calculation logic and user interactions.

Installation

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:
   

   git clone https://github.com/abhishekgurjar-in/Simple-Calculator.git
   

2. Open the project directory:
   

   cd Simple-Calculator
   

3. Run the project:

   • Open the index.html file in a web browser to start using the Simple Calculator.

Usage

1. Open the website in a web browser.
2. Enter numbers and perform arithmetic operations using the calculator buttons.
3. Use the "AC" button to clear all input, or "DEL" button to delete the last entry.
4. Click the "=" button to see the result of the calculation.

CSS

The styles.css file styles the Simple Calculator, providing a modern and user-friendly layout. Here are some key styles:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@500&display=swap');

* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}

body {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
    background: linear-gradient(45deg, #0a0a0a, #3a4452);
}

.header {
    color: white;
    margin: 30px;
    text-align: center;
}

.calculator {
    border: 1px solid #717377;
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 16px;
    background: transparent;
    box-shadow: 0px 3px 15px rgba(113, 115, 119, 0.5);
}

input {
    width: 320px;
    border: none;
    padding: 24px;
    margin: 10px;
    background: transparent;
    box-shadow: 0px 3px 15px rgba(84, 84, 84, 0.1);
    font-size: 40px;
    text-align: right;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #ffffff;
}

input::placeholder {
    color: #ffffff;
}

button {
    border: none;
    width: 60px;
    height: 60px;
    margin: 10px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: transparent;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 20px;
    box-shadow: -8px -8px 15px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
    cursor: pointer;
}

.equalBtn {
    background-color: #fb7c14;
}

.operator {
    color: #6dee0a;
}

.footer {
    color: white;
    margin: 50px;
    text-align: center;
}

JavaScript

The script.js file manages the logic for performing calculations and handling user interactions. Here’s a snippet:

let input = document.getElementById("inputBox");
let buttons = document.querySelectorAll("button");

let string = "";
let arr = Array.from(buttons);

arr.forEach((button) => {
  button.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
    if (e.target.innerHTML === "=") {
      string = eval(string);
      input.value = string;
    } else if (e.target.innerHTML === "AC") {
      string = "";
      input.value = string;
    } else if (e.target.innerHTML === "DEL") {
      string = string.substring(0, string.length - 1);
      input.value = string;
    } else {
      string += e.target.innerHTML;
      input.value = string;
    }
  });
});
