Hello DEV Community! 👋
I am Aaditya, a 1st-year computer engineering student. As I start my journey into programming and building a path toward software engineering, I wanted to share one of the first scripts I wrote in Python: a custom command-line calculator.
It handles basic arithmetic (+, -, *, /), includes division-by-zero error handling, and I even added an exponentiation (power) feature to experiment with Python's syntax!
Here is the code I built:
a = int(input("Enter a number: ")) b = int(input("Enter another number: ")) operator = input("Enter the operator you want (+, -, *, /, power): ") if operator == "+": print("Sum: ", a + b) elif operator == "-": print("Difference: ", a - b) elif operator == "*": print("Product: ", a * b) elif operator == "power": print("Power: ", a ** b) elif operator == "/": if b == 0: print("Error: Division by zero is undefined.") else: print("Quotient: ", a / b) else: print("Invalid operator. Please use one of the following: +, -, *, /, power.")
