In today’s society individuals frequently struggle with performing manual

calculations, highlighting the growing reliance on technology. That’s why, the

researchers programmed a simplified calculator exemplifies this shift, highlighting the

convenience and accuracy it provides. As the demand for quick and efficient solutions

grows, the art of manual calculations, once a common skill, becomes a diminishing

practice in the face of sophisticated tools, such as the calculator we've precisely

designed.

1.1 The Calculator

According to Wyld, B. A., & Bell, D. A. (1977) the calculator is a commonplace

instrument in today's environment, serves a crucial role in simplifying and accelerating

numerical operations. Calculator is used in a wide range of industries, from fundamental

arithmetic to advanced mathematical calculations, including education, economics,

engineering, and science. Calculators have a role beyond mere convenience; they

enable precise and quick calculations, minimizing the possibility of errors and allowing

users to focus on understanding findings rather than dealing with difficult mathematics.

Calculators have become necessary in both academic and practical contexts, whether

used in school settings to promote learning or in professional settings for complex

analysis. Their compact layouts and intuitive user interfaces make them accessible to a

broad spectrum of users, considerably contributing to the democratization of

mathematical expertise and encouraging efficiency across a wide range of areas.

lives, are crucial instruments that empower individuals and expedite numerical activities

as technological improvements continue to perfect them.

The researcher’s main goal of developing the calculator system is to design and

create a tool that efficiently performs mathematical computations, enabling users to

perform basic arithmetic to complex calculations swiftly and accurately. The idea is to

deliver a user-friendly interface that facilitates simple arithmetic enhancing the efficiency

of mathematical tasks for individuals across various disciplines, including education,

finance, and everyday life. This system aims to deliver a reliable and accessible tool

that simplifies numerical processes, ultimately empowering users to focus on problem-

solving and decision-making without the burden of manual calculations.

According Stroustrup, B. (1991, January 1) C++ is a programming language,

which evolved from the C programming language, is a diverse and powerful

programming language. It has high-level features for efficient application development

as well as low-level capabilities for system programming. C++ enables object-oriented

programming, which allows developers to structure code into classes and objects for

improved modularity and reusability. C++ is widely utilized in a variety of disciplines,

including software development, game development, and embedded systems

programming, because to its high performance and versatility. It also contains many

standard libraries and has influenced the creation of many other programming

languages. The language is frequently used to create powerful and efficient

applications, making it an important player in the field of computer programming. The

"make" function is often used to expedite the compilation process and manage

complicated projects.

1.3 Visual Studio 2022

According to (Du Preez, O. J. (2022, September 29) Visual Studio is a

comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Microsoft,

widely recognized for its robust set of tools and features that facilitate software

development across various platforms. Originally introduced in 1997, Visual Studio has

evolved over the years to become a versatile and powerful tool for developers, that
promotes multiple programming languages which include C++, C#, Visual Basic, F#,

and more, making it a go-to choice for developers.

C++ plays a crucial part as one of the fundamental programming languages within

the vast ecosystem of Visual Studio. C++, which has its origins in the development of

system software and performance-critical applications, is smoothly integrated into Visual

Studio, providing developers with a rich environment for developing scalable, high-

performance applications. Visual Studio includes sophisticated C++ programming tools,

such as a strong debugger, advanced code navigation, and a feature-rich editor that

boosts productivity. The combination of Visual Studio with C++ enable developers to

swiftly develop efficient, cross-platform applications, making it an effective option for a

wide range of software development projects.

Significance of the Project

This project would be beneficial to the following:

Students. This project will be beneficial mainly to the students.. because they will know

how to create a calculator program using Visual studio and C++. In this project the

students will know about the calculator program project. This project would also be

Beneficial to students who would like to create a calculator program. They can easily

learn the procedures and programming language that was been used to create the

program. This project would be beneficial to the aspiring computer science students

because they can get some information that might needed in their project and some of

their question may possibly be answered by this study.

Scope and Limitations``

This project encompasses the development and evaluation of a calculator

program designed to perform basic arithmetic operations, including addition,

subtraction, multiplication, and division. The program aims to provide a user-friendly

interface with clear input and output functionalities. It will be designed to cater to a

diverse user base, including students, professionals, and individuals from various fields

who require a reliable and efficient tool for quick mathematical calculations.
 Despite its functionality, the calculator program has certain limitations. Firstly, it

will focus primarily on elementary arithmetic operations, and complex mathematical

functions or symbolic computations will not be within the program's scope. Additionally,

the study acknowledges that the user interface design may vary in terms of compatibility

with different operating systems and screen resolutions. The program's accuracy will be

subject to the limitations of floating-point arithmetic and may not account for extremely

large or small numbers. Furthermore, the project does not address potential security

concerns related to user data input. Lastly, the evaluation of the program's performance

will be based on simulated scenarios, and real-world usage patterns may introduce

variables not considered in this project.
