Calculator Program in C++

In this post, we will develop a calculator program in C++, which asks two numbers and operators from the end-user and display the result. It will perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations based on the operator end-user entered.

// C++ Program to create a Simple Calculator
// Using switch-case statement
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  // declare variables
  char c;
  float num1, num2;

  // take input for operator
  cout << "Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): ";
  cin >> c;

  // take numbers input
  cout << "Enter two Numbers:";
  cin >> num1 >> num2;

  switch(c)
  {
    case '+':
          cout << num1 << " + " << num2 << " = " << num1+num2 << endl;
          break;
    case '-':
          cout << num1 << " - " << num2 << " = " << num1-num2 << endl;
          break;
    case '*':
          cout << num1 << " * " << num2 << " = " << num1*num2 << endl;
          break;
    case '/':
          cout << num1 << " / " << num2 << " = " << num1/num2 << endl;
          break;
    default:
         cout << "Error! Invalid Operator" << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

Output for the different test-case:-

Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): +
Enter two Numbers:20
10
20 + 10 = 30

Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): –
Enter two Numbers:20
10
20 – 10 = 10

Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): *
Enter two Numbers:20
10
20 * 10 = 200

Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): /
Enter two Numbers:20
10
20 / 10 = 2

Enter an Operator (+, -, *, /): %
Enter two Numbers:10
5
Error! Invalid Operator

Menu-driven Calculator Program in C++ Using Function

When compiler encounters exit(0) then control came out from the program. This program will keep executing until the user does not choose the exit option. Here, the do-while loop is used to execute the same logic multiple times.

// Manu driven Calculator Program in C++
// using function
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

// function declaration
double add(double, double);
double subtract(double, double);
double multiply(double, double);
double divide(double, double);
void display(double, double, double, char);

// main function
int main()
{
  // declare variables
  double num1, num2;
  int choice;
  char ch;
  
  do{
      // take inputs from end-user
      cout << "Enter two Numbers : ";
      cin >> num1 >> num2;
      
      // Menu to choose operation
      cout << "1. Addition" << endl;
      cout << "2. Subtraction" << endl;
      cout << "3. Multiplication" << endl;
      cout << "4. Division" << endl;
      cout << "5. Exit" << endl;
      
      // take input for operation
      cout << "Enter your choice : ";
      cin >> choice;
      
      switch(choice)
      {
        case 1:
          cout << "Result = " << add(num1, num2) << endl;
          break;
        case 2:
          cout << "Result = " << subtract(num1, num2) << endl;
            break;
        case 3:
          cout << "Result = " << multiply(num1, num2) << endl;
          break;
        case 4:
          cout << "Result = " << divide(num1, num2) << endl;
          break;
        case 5:
          cout << "Thank You." << endl;
          exit(0);
        default:
          cout << "Error! Invalid Operator" << endl;
      }

      cout << "Do you want to continue? Y/N :: " ;
      cin >> ch;
      cout << "-----------------------------" << endl;
  } while(ch == 'Y');

  cout << "Thank You." << endl;
  return 0;
}

// function to calculate Addition
double add(double n1, double n2)
{
    return n1 + n2;
}

// function to calculate Subtraction
double subtract(double n1, double n2)
{
    return n1 - n2;
}

// function to calculate Multiplication
double multiply(double n1, double n2)
{
    return n1 * n2;
}

// function to calculate Division
double divide(double n1, double n2)
{
    return n1 / n2;
}
