how do you make a calculator in scratch

So think about the different things you need and how you'll fit them together.

You need a variable for the current value being input, for example. Each numeric button then effectively multiplies that value by 10 and adds the new digit unless you've already entered a decimal point - so you need to work that out.

Once you can put in a single number you need to work what the basic function keys will do - plus, minus etc. They presumably do something like copy the current value to a separate variable and record what the operation is.

And so on. Coding isn't just about putting code together it's very much about working out how to represent things using code and variables.

The good thing is you can build up a lot of this step by step - get one bit working before moving on to the next bit.

how do you make a calculator in scratch


try doing this,
when green flag clicked
ask [what 2 do] and wait
if <(answer) = [divide ]> then

ask [what number?] and wait
set [a v] to [(answer) ]
ask [what number?] and wait
set [b v] to [(answer) ]
say ((a) / (0b)) for (2) secs

end
DONE!

Should be pretty obvious to you that spamming and necroposting should be avoided.
