Calculator Project

The skeleton code for the calculator project is in calc.py.
Remember you are not allowed to modify the processEvents method.

If this program is not enough of a challenge for you as is, here are some ideas for extensions:

Allow the user to enter multi-digit numbers. (this one's pretty easy)
Allow the user to enter floating point numbers.
Add some additional functions that only work on a single operand, like sin, cos
Make it a graphing calculator.

This project is due Friday March 11th.

HW 1:

Exercises 1--5 on page 86.

Due Monday Febrary 28th

Problem 5 clarification, the code for the non-fully parenthesized version of problem 5 is in the chapter. What this problem is asking you to do is modify the code so it works correctly or prints an error message if I give you any kind of bad input. For example, but not limited to:

unbalanced parenthesis
characters that are not parens, operands (letters or numbers), or operators.
missing spaces between operators and operands

See you monday.
