Hello from Brazil. I decided to learn some python, and I realized that the best way to learn something is use this something in a project. So I opened 10 youtube videos on "how to make a simple calculator with python", and after watching one of you videos I closed all the others. The way you explain things is very interesting, thanks for the amazing tutorials.

A really simple way of fixing the calculator number input issue is to change "e.insert(0, number)" to "e.insert(END, number)". This eliminates the need for a "current" variable and the string concatenation

[@umpalumpa2883]

Would be interesting which other ideas you guys came up with for doing the math. Maybe we can collect them in this thread. I used a little different approach and used result = eval(e.get()) for the equal button. The advantage is, that we can see the calculation all the time. Furthermore we can type in a calculation into the text field (which is of course not the aim of this video).

[@SyedAlirazarizvi72]

I have used the following technique for adding number in right sequence. def button_click(number): e.insert(len(e.get())+1, number) it's simply adding the value at the end of currently available value.

[@_Cartographer_]

5:00 why did he remove the brackets from in front of the function, don't we need them to call a function ?

[@khareek2453]

Because the clear button calls a function that doesn't require a parameter. Therefore no lambda and no brackets are needed :)

[@ничегосебе-в1ъ]

it calls a void

Gracias profe, saludos desde Bucaramanga-Colombia

Welcome

[@數學只考6級分]

Why we should use lambda to execute the command

[@Codemycom]

Because that's the only way tkinter allows you to pass variables through your function from the button.

[@bryanoakley5189]

@@Codemycom It's not the only way, just a very common way. For example, you could also use functools.partial.

[@SidneyJohnson-q7h]

Couldn´t you just save the input of everything, when they hit '=' the program splits the string in plus and then you just sum() the list. Or would´t it work?

[@AhrenBaderJarvis]

for button_click instead of deleting the entire entry, and then re-adding it, I just changed the insert position to be len(e.get()), which inputs the button entry after the last character of the textbox. My whole button_click function reads: def button_click(number): e.insert(len(e.get()), number)

[@Codemycom]

[@Codemycom]

Welcome!

[@pragunashok6008]

hey i was just wondering is there any way to have a backspace button, which only deletes the last digit??

[@Codemycom]

Sure would just take a little tinkering. You can get the last character of a string with [-1] or you can return everything in a string except the last character with [:-1]....so if your string is named my_string, you can return everything but the last character by calling my_string[:-1] Just set that up in a function that gets called when you click the button...and config it to the entry box or whatever

[@hardikpunj9321]

You may write func like this a=e.get() e.delete(len(a)-1,END)

[@kidredglow2060]

2:47 if you type click the buttons like this 1,2,3,4,5,6... you get the abacaba sequence!

@@shamailanaimat7347 the error is in your button_equal function definition, wrong: second_number = e.get correct: second_number = e.get() The problem is that you assigned e.get to second_number, thus making second_number a function equivalent to e.get. whereas you should have assigned e.get() to second_number. which assigns the return value of the e.get() function to your second_number variable.

@@Codemycom I figured as such but am unsure of what must be done to fix the error related to the .get() code. In terms of the InputBox, I named it that as I was planning to have another text box above it to show the equation the user inputted (EquationBox), once receiving the answer in the InputBox.

hey john, how shold i do if i want the calculator to be able to calculate the sum of three numbers, for examole 1 + 1 +1, thank you for this course btw :)

[@Codemycom]

You'll have to play around with it and try some things. Work it out!

[@leoronneland2633]

Codemy.com thank you so much

[@Codemycom]

@@leoronneland2633 You're very welcome!

[@SenthilManikandan]

@Leo Ronneland To store e.get(), try using a global list to which you can append to . Then sum the last 2 elements on each button_add() call and export that to global variable to f_num, then this same f_num will be available when you call button_equals().

Thanks ..helpful

Glad to help

Sir I have also made an Calculator .But can we send this app to others via link or an url??

[@Codemycom]

Sure...you need to convert it into an exe file first...which can be tricky.

@@AnujKumar-xn5tg You need to upload it to a website where you can give the link out

[@fedos]

Instead of getting the current value, deleting it, and then inserting it back with the concatenation, you can just use e.insert(END, number).

[@ericgoovaerts2603]

[@entertainmentdevashishroy2760]

insert all values as string and use eval function. it will be better

dose this works in pychram

no idea...I would never use pycharm

[@DestoFlix]

your simple but complicated. This is my first experience with python, the parts you assumed we know are the ones Im struggling with. I cant download or find Ming64 and took a while to understand where Kinter was or how to open it.

[@DestoFlix]

also using linux commands on a windows os confuses new guys even more, cause theyll try them on powershell

[@Codemycom]

ming64 isn't a thing. You want the git bash terminal. git-scm.com or any terminal. Tkinter comes with Python, there's nothing to find or open.

[@DestoFlix]

@@Codemycom Took a while for me to notice that since I know nothing about Python. As for using other terminals I tried powershell, not sure if its my command or code thats not correct

[@Codemycom]

@@DestoFlix No there is no powershell on linux. Just use the linux terminal. It comes with linux.

you can put padx and pady there, you have to put them in button_clear.pack(), but also you are calling button_clear in your program before you create it.
