The aim of this task is to create a simple calculator in TypeScript that can perform basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
Description
Create a TypeScript namespace named Calculator.
The Calculator namespace should have the following methods:
- add(a: number, b: number): number: Returns the sum of a and b.
- subtract(a: number, b: number): number: Returns the result of a minus b.
- multiply(a: number, b: number): number: Returns the product of a and b.
- divide(a: number, b: number): number: Returns the quotient of a divided by b. If b is 0, it should return null (or optionally throw an error).
Ensure to handle edge cases and provide proper type annotations.
Hints:
- Make use of TypeScript's strong typing features to ensure the correct types are being passed and returned.
- Handle division by zero carefully. You can either return null or throw a custom error.
Acceptance Criteria:
- The calculator must be implemented in a type-safe manner using TypeScript.
- Each method should work as expected for basic arithmetic operations.
How to get started
Open the tasks/typescript/medium directory from the root of your project.
Once you have created the calculator, you can test your solution with this command:
npx ts-node tasks/typescript/medium/calculator.tsIf your solution works, the tests should return these values:
8
2
15
1.666...
