Creating a basic calculator involves creating a user interface with buttons for numbers and operations, and using JavaScript to handle the logic of calculations. Here’s a simple implementation:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Aravind Kreshna - Calculator | JavaScript Mini Projects</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <div id="calculator"> <input type="text" id="display" readonly> <div id="keys"> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('+')" class="operator-btn">+</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('7')">7</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('8')">8</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('9')">9</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('-')"class="operator-btn">-</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('4')">4</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('5')">5</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('6')">6</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('*')"class="operator-btn">*</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('1')">1</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('2')">2</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('3')">3</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('/')"class="operator-btn">/</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('0')">0</button> <button onclick="appendToDisplay('.')">.</button> <button onclick="calculate()">=</button> <button onclick="clearDisplay()"class="operator-btn">C</button> </div> </div> <script src="script.js"></script> </body> </html>
CSS (styles.css)
body{ margin: 0; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%); } #calculator{ font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 15%); border-radius: 15px; max-width: 400px; overflow: hidden; } #display{ width: 100%; padding: 20px; font-size: 5rem; text-align: left; border: none; background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 25%); color: white; } #keys{ display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(4,1fr); gap: 10px; padding: 25px; } button{ width: 75px; height: 75px; border-radius: 50px; border: none; background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 30%); color: white; font-size: 3rem; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; } button:hover{ background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 40%); } button:active{ background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 50%); } .operator-btn{ background-color: hsl(35, 100%, 55%); } .operator-btn:hover{ background-color: hsl(35, 100%, 65%); } .operator-btn:active{ background-color: hsl(35, 100%, 75%); }
JavaScript (script.js)
const display = document.getElementById('display'); function appendToDisplay(input){ display.value += input; } function clearDisplay(){ display.value = ""; } function calculate(){ try{ display.value = eval(display.value); } catch(error){ display.value = "Error" } }
Explanation
- HTML:
- The structure includes an input field for the display and buttons for the digits, operators, and actions.
- Each button has a
data-value
attribute to store its value.
- CSS:
- Basic styling for the calculator layout, including a grid layout for the buttons.
- Different styles for number buttons, operator buttons, the equal button, and the clear button.
- JavaScript:
- Event listeners are added to each button to handle the click event.
- When a button is clicked, its value is appended to the display or an appropriate action (clear, calculate) is performed.
This setup provides a simple yet functional calculator. You can extend it further by adding more advanced features like keyboard support, scientific functions, or a more sophisticated UI.
