A better windows calculator built in python which allows user to calculate exponents.
The build-in calculator app that comes with Windows only allows users to perform the four basic arithmatic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It does not easily allow users to calculate exponents or use parenthesis.
After continuously going to Google for exponent calculations, I decided to build a better calculator GUI that allows me to perform these operations. The calculator is built entirely in Python, using Tkinter for the GUI itself and cx_freeze to compile the file into an exe.
The calculator takes inputs in the form of button clicks and keyboard entries.
- Download the calculator.py and setup.py file.
- Navigate to folder containing these files in command line.
- Type in
python setup.py build - Enter build folder, and the contained exe.win folder
- Double-click calculator.exe to launch.
- To navigate more easily, right-click and create shortcut. Drag shortcut to start-menu.
