I’m going to teach you some useful and fun Python projects, that you can add to your portfolio and practice before any Python interview!

Together we are going to create a simple calculator where you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide 2 numbers.

Creating a basic calculator in Python is a great way to practice handling user input, performing calculations, and managing basic control flow. Here’s how we can easily create a simple calculator that supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Let’s begin!

Here’s how you can get started.

Step-by-Step Guide to Build a Basic Calculator

1. Plan the Features:

• The calculator will perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• The user will be prompted to enter two numbers and choose an operation.

2. Implementation:

• Use functions to encapsulate the operations.
• Handle user inputs and output results.
• Include error handling for division by zero and invalid inputs.

3. Coding the Calculator:
