GUI-Based Calculator Using Python

 

Introduction:

In general, the Calculator can also be implemented using CLI ( Command Line Interface) as a Menu Driven Program but the GUI( Graphical User Interface) is much more interactive than that. The GUI in python is implemented using Tkinter packages/modules.

How to Run the code : 

Step 1: Open any Python Code Editor
Step 2: Make a Python file calculator.py
Step 3: Copy the code & Paste it 
Step 4: Run the file calculator.py and your Program will run

Note: In this code, you don’t have to install any Python Module, and Does Not contain any Image so you can easily copy and paste the code.

Code : 

Example Code

            
# import required packages
from tkinter import *

# variable to store the user entered expression
exp=''

# Function to store the values entered by user (numbers and operators)
def press(number):
    global exp
    exp+=str(number)
    equation.set(exp)

def equalpress():
    try:
        global exp
        # eval to evaluate the expression
        total = str(eval(exp))
        equation.set(total)
        # initialize the expression variable
        expression = ""
    except:
        # display syntax error if we are unable to evaluate user expression
        equation.set("Syntax error ")
        exp= ""

# Function to clear the entered expression
def clear():
    global exp
    exp=''
    equation.set('')

# To create root window
tk=Tk()
tk.configure(background="grey")
tk.title('Calculator by codewithcurious.com')
tk.geometry('280x280')

# To store the values entered by the user
equation=StringVar()

# Entry Box to accept the user’s expression(input)
Text_Entry_Box=Entry(tk,textvariable=equation,width=20)
Text_Entry_Box.grid(columnspan=8,ipadx=100)
