Likewise, I've decided to start hosting programming contests with spare time. The reason for this is not only to challenge others, but to challenge myself as well. Now then, let's get to it.



Contest:

The user who writes a calculator with the least amount of code wins.

Reward:

x3 +rep

FAQ:

Q. What language can I use?
A. Any computer language.

Q. What functionality does my calculator have to pertain?
A. As long as your calculator is able to do basic arithmetic, it qualifies. Convenience is not the key aspect of this contest.

Rules:

No Plagiarism, doing so will result in an immediate disqualification and temporary ban from Computer Talks.

Deadline is February 21, 2011.

You can PM me your work or post it here.

I REPEAT, DO NOT SEND ME AN EXECUTABLE OR I WILL KILL YOU. Not really, it just won't qualify.
: 3

Bonus:

Anyone able to write a smaller calculator than mine will receive x5 +rep.

Now start your engines people!



My Calculator (Written in Perl):

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN { print("##### Protozoid's Calculator ##### \n" . "\n") }

print("Select Your Operation: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division. \n");

$operation = <STDIN>;

chomp($operation);

print("Select Factor One: ");

$factor1 = <STDIN>;

chomp($factor1);

print("Select Factor Two: ");

$factor2 = <STDIN>;

chomp($factor2);

if ($operation eq "Addition") {
    print("Result: ");
    print($factor1 + $factor2 . "\n");
}
elsif ($operation eq "Subtraction") {
    print("Result: ");
    print($factor1 - $factor2 . "\n");
}
elsif ($operation eq "Multiplication") {
    print("Result: ");
    print($factor1 * $factor2 . "\n");
}
elsif ($operation eq "Division") {
    print("Result: ");
    print($factor1 / $factor2 . "\n");
}
else {
    print("Invalid operation specified! Please make sure to note that the operations are case-sensitive, please state them according to the example given. \n")
}

END { print("Protozoid's Calculator is now terminated... \n") }

Come at me, bitch.

LOL, is this functional?

According to the code it only runs a calculator but doesn't perform functions on it. But you gave me an awesome idea, I now know that I could of made my calculator smaller using AutoIt rather than Perl.

Code:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
     
        Label1.Text = "+"
        TextBox3.Text = Val(TextBox1.Text) + Val(TextBox2.Text)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
     
        Label1.Text = "-"
        TextBox3.Text = (TextBox1.Text - TextBox2.Text)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Label1.Text = "x"
        TextBox3.Text = (TextBox1.Text * TextBox2.Text)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        Label1.Text = "/"
        TextBox3.Text = (TextBox1.Text / TextBox2.Text)
    End Sub
End Class

Thanks for participating Apoc. Though I personally don't like your code.
It's sloppy lol. I can only imagine how the UI looks, unfortunately I'm too lazy to run your code through Visual Studio.

I'm not sure if I should enter. But, I think I''ll still post mine.

Code:


#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int a, b, total;
cout << "Enter a number you want to add " << endl;
    cin >> a >> b;
total = a + b;
 
    cout << "The total sum is : " << total << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

Made in C++

Mhm, you have some work to do on that. It's only able to addition operations.
The FAQ clearly states that your calculator must be able to do basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, AND division).

lmao XDD k then.. if you want, i can take a screenie on how it should look.

I can add all that, but you already know I stopped C++, so there's really noting I can do. But, it's still work.

I stand correct, the UI is as sloppy as the code is.



But still, good job Apocalypse.
