To create a calculator website, we will use Flask, a Python micro web framework, along with HTML and CSS for the frontend. We will have a main Python script to run the Flask application, a HTML file for the frontend interface, and a CSS file for styling.
Here are the core files, classes, functions, and methods that will be necessary:
-
app.py
: This is the main Python script that will run our Flask application. It will contain theCalculator
class with methods for basic arithmetic operations and a route to handle POST requests from the frontend. -
templates/index.html
: This is the HTML file that will provide the frontend interface of our calculator. It will contain a form for user input and buttons for each arithmetic operation. -
static/styles.css
: This is the CSS file that will provide styling for our calculator. -
requirements.txt
: This file will list all the Python dependencies that need to be installed for our application to run.
Now, let's write the content of each file.
