Overview

The Calculator GUI Application is a basic calculator that supports standard arithmetic operations. It serves as an excellent starting point for learning how to use QtDesigner to create and manage a user interface. By the end of this project, you will be familiar with the basics of QtDesigner and how to integrate the generated UI files into a Python application using PyQt.

Features

• Simple and intuitive user interface
• Supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• Real-time display of calculations and results
• Error handling for invalid inputs and division by zero

Installation

Follow these steps to set up the Calculator GUI Application on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/calculator-gui.git
   cd calculator-gui
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Ensure you have QtDesigner installed:

• You can download and install QtDesigner as part of the Qt framework from Qt's official website.

Usage

To run the Calculator GUI Application, follow these steps:

1. Open QtDesigner:

   • Use QtDesigner to open and edit the calculator.ui file. You can modify the layout, add buttons, labels, and other widgets as needed.

2. Generate the Python code from the UI file:

   pyuic5 calculator.ui -o calculator_ui.py
   

3. Run the application

   python main.py
