C Programming

Algorithm of Calculator Program

Step 1: Declare local variables n1, n2, res, opt. For example, where n1 and n2 take two numeric
values, res will store results and opt variable define the operator symbols.

Step 2: Print the Choice (Addition, Subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.

Step 3: Enter the Choice

Step 4: Takes two numbers, n1 and n2

Step 5: Switch case jump to an operator selected by the user

Step 6: Store result into res variable.

Step 7: Display the operation result

Step 8: Exit from the program.

Different ways to create a Calculator Program in C

Following are the different ways to write a Calculator Program in the C language.

1. Calculator Program in C using the switch statement

2. Calculator Program in C using if else if statement

3. Calculator Program in C using do-while loop and switch statement

4. Calculator Program in C using function and switch statement

Example 1: Calculator Program in C using the switch statement

Let's write a program to create a Calculator program using switch statement

program.c

1. #include <stdio.h>

2. int main()

3. {

4. // declare local variables

5. char opt;

6. int n1, n2;

7. float res;

8. printf (" Choose an operator(+, -, *, /) to perform the operation in C Calculator \n ");

9. scanf ("%c", &opt); // take an operator

10. if (opt == '/' )

11. {

12. printf (" You have selected: Division");

13. }

14. else if (opt == '*')

15. {

16. printf (" You have selected: Multiplication");

17. }

18.

19. else if (opt == '-')

20. {

21. printf (" You have selected: Subtraction");

22. }

23. else if (opt == '+')

24. {

25. printf (" You have selected: Addition");

26. }

27. printf (" \n Enter the first number: ");

28. scanf(" %d", &n1); // take fist number

29. printf (" Enter the second number: ");

30. scanf (" %d", &n2); // take second number

31.

32. switch(opt)

33. {

34. case '+':

35. res = n1 + n2; // add two numbers

36. printf (" Addition of %d and %d is: %.2f", n1, n2, res);

37. break;

38.

39. case '-':

40. res = n1 - n2; // subtract two numbers

 41. printf (" Subtraction of %d and %d is: %.2f", n1, n2, res);

42. break;

43.

44. case '*':

45. res = n1 * n2; // multiply two numbers

46. printf (" Multiplication of %d and %d is: %.2f", n1, n2, res);

47. break;

48.

49. case '/':

50. if (n2 == 0) // if n2 == 0, take another number

51. {

52. printf (" \n Divisor cannot be zero. Please enter another value ");

53. scanf ("%d", &n2);

54. }

55. res = n1 / n2; // divide two numbers

56. printf (" Division of %d and %d is: %.2f", n1, n2, res);

57. break;

58. default: /* use default to print default message if any condition is not satisfied */

59. printf (" Something is wrong!! Please check the options ");

60. }

61. return 0;
