Calculator

[Scythe]

Hello everyone, I decided to make a fun tool, a simple calculator.
NOTE: I only programmed ADDITION to work (For now)

Looks like this:

Calculator Test
Enter First Value (Enter any number here then press enter)
Enter Second Value (Enter any number here then press enter)
"first number" + "second number" = "the result"

Try not to enter extremely high numbers or it will probably crash (Also, do not use letters!)

A little confession: This was coded in c++ but was programmed to run in CMD (Runs exactly like a batch file)


Well If you guys like it, I can keep working on it Thanks, and good day to you all!

Great man, you totally should keep on playing around with batch if you enjoy it much ^_^
you should add something like this to make it a bit more advanced and more useful for different sums

Code: Select all

set i=
set /p i=[+ - / X]

so then you can do something like
%value% %i% %value2%

i dunno how calculating exactly work with batch but its defo possible :3

Judago wrote a couple of pure math batch files that can exceed the 32 bit integer limit of SET /A.

Yeah, I make remake one in Batch for fun But i'll probably add some more functionalities with my c++ version

I appreciate your contribution but we do mainly just focus on batch files here.

Code: Select all

:CalculatorProgram
@echo off 
color C 
:root 
cls 
echo ==================================== 
echo =Welcome To CMD Calculator by PROXY= 
echo ==================================== 
echo Press 1,2 or 3 for menus 
echo 1.) Calculator 
echo 2.) Instructions 
echo 3.) Info 
set /p != 
if %!% == 1 goto Calculator 
if %!% == 2 goto Instructions 
if %!% == 3 goto Info 
:Calculator 
cls 
color D 
echo ====================== 
echo Previous Answer= %ans% 
echo ---------------------- 
set /p sum= 
set /a ans=%sum% 
echo = %ans% 
goto Calculator 
set /p != 
cls 
echo ================================== 
echo Previous Answer %ans% 
goto top 
pause 
:Instructions 
cls 
color A 
echo To use calculator- 
echo Insert Number N 
echo use the + key to add 
pause 
echo use the - key to subtract 
pause 
echo use the * key to multiply 
pause 
echo use the / key to divide 
pause 
echo Got It? (y,n) 
set /p != 
if %!% == Y goto root 
if %!% == y goto root 
if %!% == N goto Instructions 
if %!% == n goto Instructions 
pause 
:Info 
cls 
echo ==================================== 
echo =Welcome To CMD Calculator by PROXY= 
echo ==================================== 
color B 
echo This calculator was created by Batch Artist
pause 
echo Would you like to return to the main menu? (y,n) 
set /p m= 
if %m% == Y goto root 
if %m% == y goto root 
if %m% == N goto Info 
if %m% == n goto Info 

This will also work and this has multiplication, division, subtraction and addition.

I have a couple of comments, Batch Artist.

Using /i makes the compare case insensitive so you don't need multiple statements, and using double quotes protects against errors when no input is entered (and the variable is blank), as well as if two words were entered.

Code: Select all

if /i "%m%"=="y" goto :yes

The other thing is that the ! as a variable name is ok where you use it, but it is better to avoid using it because when you use delayed expansion, the ! will fail.

Batch Artist,
Your script will not work with numbers larger than 2,147,483,647.

Ahhh, I gotta look into that. Thank you!

I will keep all that in mind. Thank you very much Foxidrive!

Sorry about that everyone, I just figured out how to make all calculator elements into one Well, i'm going back to batch and i'll post some more projects here.
