Using Matlab to construct a calculator

0.Read me

This blog mainly gives an overview of how to use matlab to make a suggested calculator and implement its external layout. In this article, we use the Editor functional zone to realize the front-end layout. Details of each step and code explanation are included in the following introduction.

3.Description of problem-solving ideas

In this project, I first think about how to build the front-end visual interface. After the completion of the interface construction, I think about how to combine the back-end code with the front-end keys and achieve functions.
To find the information I need, I browse the CSDN and find many ways to realize the visual calculator. I tried python and AppInventor to make this calculator(will show in other blog which appended at the end of the article). But finally I choose Matlab cause I think it’s a much clearly way for me to acheive this work.

·Design and Implementation process

1.Determine the needs: First of all, we need to clarify the calculator functions that need to be designed. For basic calculators, we only need to design simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, delete keys, equal keys, and carry out a simple addition and subtraction operation sequence.

2.Interface layout: In the front-end page layout, we need to determine the size and place of each key, at the same time, we must divide the number key and the symbol key into two parts, so that the number key is placed together, and the symbol key is put together, so that the user can better adapt.

3.Add components: Place each button in the appropriate position and modify the parameters.
First, we enter ‘guide’ in the command bar:
Second, we drag the cell box on the left to the blank space on the right as needed:
Third, you can rename and change the parameters about the button:
Finally, we get the finished visual interface:

5.Code Section:

function varargout = calc(varargin)
% CALC MATLAB code for calc.fig
%      CALC, by itself, creates a new CALC or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = CALC returns the handle to a new CALC or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      CALC('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in CALC.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      CALC('Property','Value',...) creates a new CALC or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before calc_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to calc_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".

·code annotation
This code is divided into three simple parts and repeated many times. It is the number and the code of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the code of equal sign, and the code of delete key.For the three parts, the callback function is used.
The first part:

s0=get(handles.edit1,'string');
s=get(hObject,'string');
set(handles.edit1,'string',[s0,s]);

The second part:

s0=get(handles.edit1,'string');
set(handles.edit1,'string',num2str(eval(s0)));%find the final value

The third part:

set(handles.edit1,'string',[]);%clear

6.Summary

This is the first time to design a visual calculator, I learned a lot about the way of front-end construction, and finally chose matlab to implement the code and front-end together, but this calculator can only carry out four simple operations, and still does not have trigonometric functions and other computing functions, I hope to improve in the future
