🧪 Lab Report: Calculator in C++

🔹 Title

Creating a Simple Calculator Using C++

🔹 Objective

To develop a basic calculator program using C++ that performs arithmetic


operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

---

🔹 Tools & Software

Programming Language: C++

Compiler: g++, Turbo C++, or any C++ IDE (Code::Blocks, Dev C++, etc.)

Operating System: Windows / Linux

---

🔹 Theory

A calculator program performs mathematical operations based on user input.


In C++, we use conditional or switch statements to decide which operation
to perform, based on the operator (+, -, *, /) entered by the user.

---

🔹 Procedure

1. Start the C++ IDE or compiler.

2. Create a new .cpp file.


3. Write the C++ code for the calculator.

4. Compile and run the program.

5. Test it with different inputs.

---

🔹 Source Code

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

char op;

float num1, num2;

cout << "Enter operator (+, -, *, /): ";

cin >> op;

cout << "Enter two numbers: ";

cin >> num1 >> num2;

switch(op) {

case '+':

cout << "Result: " << num1 + num2 << endl;

break;

case '-':

cout << "Result: " << num1 - num2 << endl;


break;

case '*':

cout << "Result: " << num1 * num2 << endl;

break;

case '/':

if(num2 != 0)

cout << "Result: " << num1 / num2 << endl;

else

cout << "Error: Division by zero!" << endl;

break;

default:

cout << "Invalid operator!" << endl;

return 0;

---

🔹 Sample Output

Enter operator (+, -, *, /): +

Enter two numbers: 5 3

Result: 8

---

🔹 Conclusion
The C++ calculator program was successfully developed and tested. It can
perform basic arithmetic operations and handles division-by-zero errors.

---

🔹 Viva Questions

1. What is the use of switch statement in C++?

2. How does the program handle invalid input?

3. What happens when you divide a number by zero?

4. How can we improve this calculator?
