Write a simple calculator program that adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides. When
the program is run, it initiliazes the result to 0. The user can then type in an operator
and number. The result is updated and displayed. The following operators are valid:

Operator Meaning
--------------------------------
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
---------------------------------

Handle the case when the user enters q or Q to quit and h or H for usage help.

Problem: when the program runs and the user enter an operator, it goes on and on and on.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>																							 

using namespace std;



int main ()

{
int math; 
int number;
int result = 0;
char H,h, Q, q;


cout << " Result: " << result;



cout << endl;
cout << "Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help:" << endl;
cin  >> math; 
cout << endl; 

cout << "Enter the value: ";
cin  >> number;
cout << endl; 






while (math != Q || math != q) {
	  cout << endl;
cout << setw(10) << "Operator" << setw(15) << "Meaning" << endl;
cout << setw(10) << "  ----------------------------" << endl;
cout << setw(5) << "+" << setw(20) << "Addition" << endl;
cout << setw(5) << "-" << setw(20) << "Subtraction" << endl;
cout << setw(5) << "*" << setw(20) << "Multiplication" << endl;
cout << setw(5) << "/" << setw(20) << "Division" << endl;
	  
cout << "Enter the value: ";
cin  >> number;
cout << endl;
	  
	  


cout << endl;
cout << "Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help:" << endl;
cin  >> math;  
cout << endl; 

cout << " Result: " << result;


cout << endl;
cout << endl;




switch (math) {
	case '+':
	   result += number;
		 break;
	case '-':
		  result -= number;
		 break;
	case '*':
		  result *= number;
		 break;
	case '/':
		  result /= number;
		  if (number==0);
		   cout <<  "Division by zero";
		   cout << endl;
		   break;
	case 'H':
		 case 'h':
		 
		 cout << "Use '+' to add a value to the result" << endl;
		 cout << "Use '-' to subtract a value from the result" << endl;
		 cout << "Use '*' to multiply a value with the result" << endl;
		 cout << "Use '/' to divide a value into the result" << endl;
		 break;
	   
	case 'Q':
		case 'q':
		 cout << "Thank you for using our calculator. Come back again :-)." << endl;
		 break;
	  
		
	
		 
		 
system ("pause"); 

}
}
																								
system ("pause");																						   
 return 0;  
 
}

Hey, is this homework??? hmm... looks like an assignment

First of all, I changed your integers to chars so that you don't get the random looping, then for some reason your code seems a bit odd... you have got stuff all over the place, seemingly for no apparent reason :S not sure if i read your question incorrectly but i have rewritten it so that it looks and functions in the way that i understand you want it to. Hope this helps, Ben.

#include <iostream>

	  else
	  {
		   printf ("Your CHOICE is WRONG, Please Enter the RIGHT CHOICE.\n Press any key to Exit.");   
	  }
	   
	   getch();
}

Please try this.

Thank you I need a basic calculator, to make another program.

Finally!!
A question i can give an repy to hehe.

# include <stdio.h>

int main (void) {

	int i;
	int b;
	int a;
	int c;

	printf("Press 1 to addition\nPress 2 for substraction\nPress 3 for multiplication\nPress 4 for division\n");
	scanf("%d",&i);
	scanf("%d",&b);
	scanf("%d",&a);

	if (i == 1)
		c = b + a;

	if (i == 2)
		c = b - a;
	if (i == 3)
		c =b * a;
	if (i == 4)
		c= b/a;

	printf("The correct andswer is %d\n",c);
		




return 0;
} 

it is very primitive, but i only use c++ for a month or 2

Hi Ben, Thanks for helping me. Your program doesn't allow me to input any Operators : like *, +, -, / . and to the result.

this is the expected output for my homework:
Example output:

Result: 0
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

Operator Meaning
======== =======
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
+
Enter the value : 23
0 + 23
Result: 23
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

/
Enter the value : 0
Error:Divide by zero. Operation ignored
Result: 23
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

Operator Meaning
======== =======
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
*
Enter the value : 3
23 * 3
Result: 69
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

Operator Meaning
======== =======
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
-
Enter the value : 56
69 - 56
Result: 13
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

Operator Meaning
======== =======

- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
/
Enter the value : 4
13 / 4
Result: 3.25
Enter operator from the table below, Q or q for quit, H or h for help :

Thank you for using our calculator. Come back again :-)
