Python Calculator

The calculator understands simple calculations in a particular format: the keyword calc, a string that's one of x, +, -, /, ^ or % (the operation), an integer (first operand), and another integer (second operand). It can then compute the result of performing the operation on the two operands.

Examples of valid calculations and their results

calc + 1 2      # Returns 3
calc / 5 2      # Returns 2.5
calc x 5 0      # Returns 0

Installation

No packages required currently, only Python itself (version 3.6 or above). Just clone the repo and get started!

Usage

# Run the file calculator.py without command line arguments
python calculator.py

You will be asked if you would like to specify a path for the file containing your calculations to be run. By default, it is assumed that the calculations are contained in a file called calculations.txt in the current directory unless specified otherwise. Each calculation should be on a separate line.
