I. Project objective:
This project is an opportunity for you to practice your knowledge in java. It will allow you to develop your skills of working within a team, thanks to your interaction with your colleagues in designing and creating a small program.
II. Project Description:
The project is about the creation of a simple calculator. The calculator should achieve different mathematical operations such as addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, modulo, cos, sin, absolute value, power, square root, minimum, maximum, …
Your program should show to the user a menu with different possible operations. The menu should contain at least seven different operations. The last option in the menu should allow the user to end the program.
Figure 1 shows an example of a menu. You have to create your menu with the operations that you have selected. It is not necessary to follow the same output given in the example.
Figure 1: Example of a menu
If the user enters a wrong number (out of the possible range), then an error message will appear and the program asks the user to reenter a correct number.
Once the user selects an operation, the program should clear the screen using the clrscr() method (Cf Figure 3, section III) then ask the user to enter the needed operand(s) and print the answer (See Figure 2)
Figure 2: Example of a menu
Once the user presses any key, the program clears the screen then the menu appears again and the user can choose a new operation.
III. Hint (how to clear the screen):
To clear the output screen when you display the menu, you can use the method: clrscr(). The program below keeps asking the user for a positive number and clears the screen each time the user gives a negative number.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main
{
//this method is used to clear the screen
public static void clrscr()
{
try
{
if (System.getProperty(“os.name”).contains(“Windows”))
new ProcessBuilder(“cmd”, “/c”, “cls”).inheritIO().start().waitFor();
else
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“clear”);
} catch (IOException | InterruptedException ex) {}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(“Give a positve number”);
int a = in.nextInt();
while (a<0)
{
clrscr();//clear the screen
System.out.println("Error!! Regive a positve number");
a = in.nextInt();
}
}
}
