C++ Console Calculator

**Connor** · 08-20-2008, 08:56 PM

Code:

//Connor's calculator. OMG IT'S SO COMPLICATED!??!?! No.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main()
{
//variables
	long Num1;
	long Num2;
	long final;
	char Buffer[9];
	



cout << "Enter your first number: "<< endl;
cin >> Num1;
cout << "Enter your second number: " << endl;
cin >> Num2;
cout << "Say what you want to do (+, -, / or *) " << endl;
cin >> Buffer;

if ( lstrcmp( Buffer, "+" ) == 0 )
{
final = Num1+Num2;
}

if ( lstrcmp( Buffer, "-" ) == 0 )
{
final = Num1-Num2;
}

if ( lstrcmp( Buffer, "*" ) == 0 )
{
final = Num1*Num2;
}

if ( lstrcmp( Buffer, "/" ) == 0 )
{
final = Num1/Num2;
}



cout << "The final answer is: " << final << endl;


}

It's easy stuff but it's the next step up from "Hello World".
I had trouble finding the stuff to learn this, so I thought I'd post it.

You didn't even make a GUI!

I know really basic C, if you need help, just FYI.

What?
This is console C++.
If you want to do GUI's you should use C# with functions from DLLs using C++

elseifs = proper way of doing it
or maybe you can use case too.

still. C++ is a huge language and its kinda intimidating. if i was 15 and i saw how huge C++ is, i would back down and not even attempt to learn it.

but this kinda looks like something to have to do with a class project or something. so its not as impressive. and i see your point
