Simple Calculator

Java Swing program that functions as a basic calculator. The calculator supports digits (0-9) and operations (+, -, *, /), and includes a text field to display the result. It also handles exceptions such as division by zero.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class SimpleCalculator extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

    private JTextField display;
    private double num1, num2, result;

Imports
  • javax.swing.*: Imports classes for building the GUI using Swing components like JFrame, JPanel, JButton, and JTextField.
  • java.awt.*: Imports classes for AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) which is used for GUI layouts and other UI elements.
  • java.awt.event.*: Imports classes to handle events such as ActionEvent and ActionListener.

    • Class Definition
  • The class SimpleCalculator extends JFrame to create the main window of the calculator.
  • It implements ActionListener to handle button click events.

    • Instance Variables
  • display: A JTextField to display the input and result.
  • num1, num2, result: Variables to store the first operand, second operand, and the result of the calculation, respectively.
  • operator: A character to store the operator (+, -, *, /) selected by the user

    • Constructor

    Creating the Display Field:
    • display: Initializes the text field to show input and results.
    • setEditable(false): Ensures the user cannot edit the text field directly.
    • setFont: Sets the font for the text field.
    • add(display, BorderLayout.NORTH): Adds the text field to the top of the frame.
    Creating the Button Panel:
    • JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel(): Initializes a panel to hold the buttons.
    • setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 4, 5, 5)): Sets a 4x4 grid layout with spacing between buttons.
    • add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER): Adds the button panel to the center of the frame.

    Adding Buttons:

    • String[] buttonLabels: Array of labels for the buttons.
    • Loop: Iterates over the array to create and add buttons to the panel.
    • button.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20)): Sets the font for each button.
    • button.addActionListener(this): Registers the current instance as the listener for button clicks.
    • buttonPanel.add(button): Adds each button to the button panel.
    Setting Up the Frame:
    • setTitle("Simple Calculator"): Sets the title of the window.
    • setSize(400, 400): Sets the size of the window.
    • setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE): Ensures the application exits when the window is closed.
    • setVisible(true): Makes the window visible.
    Handling Button Clicks

    1. Getting the Command:

      • String command = e.getActionCommand(): Retrieves the label of the button that was clicked.

    2. Handling Digit Buttons:

      • if (command.charAt(0) >= '0' && command.charAt(0) <= '9'): Checks if the button is a digit.
      • display.setText(display.getText() + command): Appends the digit to the display.

    3. Handling Clear Button:

      • else if (command.charAt(0) == 'C'): Checks if the button is "C" (clear).
      • display.setText(""): Clears the display.

    4. Handling Equals Button:

      • else if (command.charAt(0) == '='): Checks if the button is "=".
      • Try-Catch Block: Parses the second number, performs the calculation based on the operator, and updates the display with the result. Handles ArithmeticException for division by zero and NumberFormatException for invalid input.

    5. Handling Operator Buttons:

      • else: Handles the operator buttons (+, -, *, /).
      • Try-Catch Block: Parses the first number, stores the operator, and clears the display for the next input. Handles NumberFormatException for invalid input.
    Main Method
  • SwingUtilities.invokeLater: Ensures the GUI creation and updates are handled on the Event Dispatch Thread.
  • SimpleCalculator::new: Creates an instance of the SimpleCalculator class, which initializes the GUI and makes it visible.

    Introduction to Java Swing

    Introduction to Java Swing Java Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) and provides a set of APIs for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Java. It is built on top of the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) and offers a richer set of GUI components. Swing is a platform-independent, lightweight toolkit that can be used to create window-based applications. Key Features of Swing Lightweight Components : Swing components are lightweight because they are written entirely in Java and do not rely on native platform components. Pluggable Look and Feel : Swing supports pluggable look and feel, which means you can change the appearance of your application to match different platforms (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux) or create a custom look and feel. Component-based Architecture : Swing follows a component-based architecture, allowing for reusable, modular, and easily extendable components. MVC Architecture : Swing components follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, separa...

    Introduction to JDBC- MySQL

    Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an API in Java that allows you to interact with databases. It provides a standard method for connecting to a database, executing SQL queries, and processing the results. JDBC is part of the Java Standard Edition platform, which means it's available in all Java environments. To get started with JDBC and MySQL, you'll need to: Install MySQL : Ensure you have MySQL installed and running on your machine. Set up a MySQL Database : Create a database and a table to interact with. Add MySQL Connector/J to Your Project : This is the JDBC driver for MySQL. Step-by-Step Guide 1. Install MySQL Download and install MySQL from the official MySQL website . Follow the installation instructions for your operating system. 2. Set up a MySQL Database Once MySQL is installed and running, you can create a database and a table. For example: CREATE DATABASE mydatabase; USE mydatabase; CREATE TABLE users (     id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,     userna...
