Something for my Project :P
« on: January 28, 2019, 09:51:35 pm »
I sat down to create the project we got in school about QBASIC. And then I thought to myself, "What would it be?" and then I scrapped all the huge ideas and started making a simple calculator(graphical). I made it, but I ran into ONE problem. And that is *drumroll please!* that it can't do more than 2 operations. Which is annoying cuz I planned to use this calculator myself xD. Here's the code I made up:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(450, 500, 256)
  3.     CLS
  4.     makecalculator
  5.     _PRINTSTRING (100, 50), a$
  6.     k$ = INKEY$
  7.     IF k$ = "=" THEN
  8.         a$ = calculate$(a$)
  9.     ELSEIF k$ = "+" THEN
  10.         a$ = a$ + " + "
  11.     ELSEIF k$ = "-" THEN
  12.         a$ = a$ + " - "
  13.     ELSEIF k$ = "*" THEN
  14.         a$ = a$ + " * "
  15.     ELSEIF k$ = "/" THEN
  16.         a$ = a$ + " / "
  17.     ELSEIF k$ = CHR$(8) THEN a$ = LEFT$(a$, LEN(a$) - 1)
  18.     ELSE
  19.         a$ = a$ + k$
  20.     END IF
  22.         IF mouseclick(50, 100, 100, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + "1"
  23.         IF mouseclick(150, 100, 200, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + "2"
  24.         IF mouseclick(250, 100, 300, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + "3"
  25.         IF mouseclick(350, 100, 400, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + " + "
  26.  
  27.         IF mouseclick(50, 200, 100, 250) THEN a$ = a$ + "4"
  28.         IF mouseclick(150, 200, 200, 250) THEN a$ = a$ + "5"
  29.         IF mouseclick(250, 200, 300, 250) THEN a$ = a$ + "6"
  30.         IF mouseclick(350, 200, 400, 250) THEN a$ = a$ + " - "
  31.  
  32.         IF mouseclick(50, 300, 100, 350) THEN a$ = a$ + "7"
  33.         IF mouseclick(150, 300, 200, 350) THEN a$ = a$ + "8"
  34.         IF mouseclick(250, 300, 300, 350) THEN a$ = a$ + "9"
  35.         IF mouseclick(350, 300, 400, 350) THEN a$ = a$ + " * "
  36.  
  37.         IF mouseclick(50, 400, 100, 450) THEN a$ = a$ + "."
  38.         IF mouseclick(150, 400, 200, 450) THEN a$ = a$ + "0"

The only way I can do that is by equaling it multiple times which is REALLY annoying! Can anyone give me some ideas? Cuz, I really need some....

(This probably was the first time I got in this forum with a complete program lol)

The mouse clicks cause multiple numbers to pop up. You can regulate that by waiting for a release. I added one line of code to the mouse function to achieve that. After that addition (excuse the pun) it seemed to work just fine.

As far as multiple operations, you'd need to store those in memory and then perform the operations after the = sign is pressed. I think a better way would be to have it automatically use the equals sign after the next operation is entered.

Code with mouse adjustment...

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(450, 500, 256)
  3.     CLS
  4.     makecalculator
  5.     _PRINTSTRING (100, 50), a$

  11.     ELSEIF k$ = "-" THEN
  12.         a$ = a$ + " - "
  13.     ELSEIF k$ = "*" THEN
  14.         a$ = a$ + " * "
  15.     ELSEIF k$ = "/" THEN
  16.         a$ = a$ + " / "
  17.     ELSEIF k$ = CHR$(8) THEN a$ = LEFT$(a$, LEN(a$) - 1)
  18.     ELSE
  19.         a$ = a$ + k$
  20.     END IF
  22.         IF mouseclick(50, 100, 100, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + "1"
  23.         IF mouseclick(150, 100, 200, 150) THEN a$ = a$ + "2"

I suppose if you wanted to try a memory string, it might go something like this...

Code: QB64: [Select]

  6.         IF flag = 0 THEN x = VAL(a$): flag = -1
  7.         SELECT CASE o$
  8.             CASE "+"
  9.                 x = x + VAL(a$)
  10.             CASE "-"
  11.                 x = x - VAL(a$)
  12.             CASE "*"
  13.                 x = x * VAL(a$)
  14.             CASE "/"
  15.                 x = x / VAL(a$)
  16.         END SELECT
  17.         a$ = ""
  18.         o$ = t$: ' PRINT o$: SLEEP
  19.     ELSE
  20.         a$ = a$ + t$
  21.     END IF
  23. PRINT x, "=", (123 + 456 - 55) * 3 / 6
  25.  

Before you get too excited, remember that computers are binary and math is base 10. That means that you will get erroneous results from tie tie to time with calculations. I used to work with just strings for ledger calculations to avoid those types of problems, and I wish I could recall a simple rounding trick that corrected for much of the math errors thrown by the binary system but its been too many years. I'm sure there will be other response here from folks who have worked with calculator programs. As for what you have so far, very nice! Good luck with it.

To avoid pressing = all the time,  setup two operands a$ and b$ and track the operator key op$ separately.
When an op$ press is detected, if none is registered (op$ = "") handle as you have but if one is in the works then update a$ with the math calculation, clear b$ and set the op$ to the new operation k$ that was just detected.
