We will be creating calculators by utilizing the Revealing Module Pattern. Scope also comes into play in this exercise as a way to create functions and variables that are either both privately or publically available.
The CalculatorModule will return an object when invoked. This object will have functions attached to it that perform different operations. Users will not be able to access these functions without first creating a new Calculator.
This calculator will also have private variables: total and memory. Users will not be able to access these values directly. Only the functions will be able to interact with those values, functions like: .add(), .subtract(), .multiply(), .divide(), etc.
NOTE: Make sure you VALIDATE all of your inputs!!
"taco" + 3 //Not validvar myCalculator = calculatorModule(); // creates a new calculator to be used
myCalculator.load(6); // initial value to be stored in a private variable named `total`
myCalculator.add(5); // adds 5 to `total`
myCalculator.getTotal(); // returns the value of `total`
