Simple GUI Java calculator [closed]

I am building a simple GUI Java calculator. I have an issue finding a package or figuring out a method to do the actual calculation. So far I've figured that when I do a math operation, the number in the text box gets saved in a temporary location.

Then when I click on the "=" button, it will do the calculation, but I don't know how to tell it to take the temporary plus the math operation and the second number and do the calculation based on开发者_开发知识库 the selected math operation clicked, +, -, *, /

Somewhere you have to keep track of what button had been pressed. When things happen, you need to store something in a variable so you can recall the information or it's gone forever.

When someone pressed one of the operator buttons, don't just let them type in another value. Save the operator symbol, then let them type in another value. You could literally just have a String operator that gets the text of the operator button pressed. Then, when the equals button is pressed, you have to check to see which operator you stored. You could do this with an if/else if/else chain.

So, in your symbol's button press event, store the symbol text in a variable, then, in the = button press event, check to see which symbol is in the variable and act accordingly.

Alternatively, if you feel comfortable enough with enums (looks like you're just starting, so if you're not to that point yet, ignore this), you could have an enumeration of symbols that lets you check symbols easily with a switch.

---

What you need is something that calculates the result of the infix notated calculation, have a look at the Shunting-Yard Algorithm.

There's an example in C++ on Wikipedia's page, but it shouldn't be too hard to implement it in Java.
And since it's the primary function of your calculator, I would advise you to not grab some codez from the Web in this Case (except all you want to do is building calculator GUIs).

assuming that string1 is your whole operation

use mdas

double result;
string recurAndCheck(string operation){
  if(operation.indexOf("/")){
     String leftSide = recurAndCheck(operation.split("/")[0]);
     string rightSide = recurAndCheck(operation.split("/")[1]);
     result = Double.parseDouble(leftSide)/Double.parseDouble(rightSide);

  } else if (..continue w/ *...) {
    //same as above but change / with *
  } else if (..continue w/ -) { 
    //change as above but change with -
  } else if (..continuew with +) {
    //change with add
  } else {
    return;
  }
}
