Basic Calculator with GUI in python

By Papri Boyra

This "Basic Calculator GUI" project provides a practical example of creating a graphical user interface for a basic calculator application using the Tkinter and ttk library in Python.

The Python code begins with importing the required modules, namely tkinter and ttk, to enable creating a GUI and using themed widgets. These two modules are essential in developing a user-friendly GUI application that enhances the user experience. By importing these modules, the code can access the necessary resources and tools to create a responsive graphical user interface.

The BasicCalculatorApp class is tasked to create the main application window with dimensions, title, and background color. It also sets up two variables for storing the selected operation and the calculation result. The calculate method is defined to perform arithmetic calculations.

The create_widgets method in a Python program creates a frame to hold widgets such as labels, entry fields and Radiobuttons. These Radiobuttons are bound to the operation_var variable and are used for selecting the operation. The background color for the frame is set and each Radiobutton is given a specific color. The entry fields are specifically designed for numbers. The method organizes these widgets in a clear and visually appealing manner.

The main section of code of the BasicCalculatorApp class and passes in the main application window as a parameter. This creates an instance of the BasicCalculatorApp, which is responsible for displaying the graphical user interface (GUI) for the calculator app. Additionally, the main event loop is initiated to allow user interactions with the GUI. This allows users to input numbers and perform calculations using the calculator's buttons. Overall, the main section of code is crucial in launching and executing the BasicCalculatorApp.
