/* Make a Simple Calculator to Add, Subtract, Multiply or Divide Using switch...case Example to create a simple calculator to add, subtract, multiply and divide using switch and break statement. This program takes an arithmetic operator (+, -, *, /) and two operands from an user and performs the operation on those two operands depending upon the operator entered by user. This program takes an operator and two operands from user. The operator is stored in variable op and two operands are stored in number1 and number2 respectively. Then, switch...case statement is used for checking the operator entered by user. If user enters + then, statements for case: '+' is executed and program is terminated. If user enters - then, statements for case: '-' is executed and program is terminated. This program works similarly for * and / operator. But, if the operator doesn't matches any of the four character [ +, -, * and / ], default statement is executed which displays error message. */ # include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char op; float number1, number2; cout << "Enter operator either + or - or * or /: "; cin >> op; cout << "Enter two operands: "; cin >> number1 >> number2; switch(op) { case '+': cout << number1+number2; break; case '-': cout << number1-number2; break; case '*': cout << number1*number2; break; case '/': cout << number1/number2; break; default: // If the operator is other than +, -, * or /, error message is shown cout << "Error! operator is not correct"; break; } return 0; }
