Classwork_9__Python_Calculator

The document outlines an assignment to create a simple arithmetic calculator in Python. The program should prompt the user for two numbers and an operation, perform the calculation, and handle invalid inputs and division by zero. This process should repeat five times, concluding with a thank-you message after all calculations are complete.

Python Arithmetic Calculator Assignment

Objective:

You will create a simple calculator program in Python that allows the user to perform multiple
arithmetic operations. Your program will:

●​ Ask the user for two numbers.


●​ Ask the user which operation they want to perform (+, -, *, /).
●​ Perform the chosen operation and display the result.
●​ Repeat this process 5 times.
●​ Handle invalid inputs gracefully (e.g., division by zero, invalid operators).

Instructions:

1.​ Define the number of operations:


○​ Create a variable num_operations and set its value to 5. This will determine
how many times the calculator runs.
2.​ Use a loop to repeat the process:
○​ Use a for loop to allow the user to perform 5 calculations.
○​ Inside the loop, display the calculation number (e.g., "Calculation 1", "Calculation
2").
3.​ Get user input:
○​ Prompt the user to enter two numbers. Convert these inputs to float so that
they can handle decimal numbers.
○​ Ask the user to enter an arithmetic operation (+, -, *, /).
4.​ Perform the calculation using conditional statements (if-elif-else):
○​ If the user enters +, perform addition.
○​ If the user enters -, perform subtraction.
○​ If the user enters *, perform multiplication.
○​ If the user enters /, perform division.
○​ If the user enters an invalid operator, display an error message and move to the
next calculation.
5.​ Handle division by zero:
○​ If the user tries to divide by zero, display an error message and prevent the
program from crashing.
○​ Skip the current calculation and continue with the next one.
6.​ Display the result:
○​ Show the result in a clear format (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8).
7.​ End with a thank-you message:
○​ After all calculations are complete, print "Thank you for using the
calculator!".
