Simple Command-Line Calculator

This repository contains a straightforward, single-run command-line calculator program written in Python. It's designed as a beginner-friendly project to demonstrate fundamental arithmetic operations and basic user interaction in a console environment.

✨ Features

• Addition (+): Adds two numbers.
• Subtraction (-): Subtracts the second number from the first.
• Multiplication (*): Multiplies two numbers.
• Division (/): Divides the first number by the second, with basic error handling for division by zero.
• User-Friendly: Prompts the user for inputs and operation choice.

🚀 How to Use

To run this calculator, you'll need Python installed on your computer.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x (Download and install the latest Python 3 version if you don't have it.)

Running the Calculator

1. Save the code:

   • Save the calculator code (from our conversation) into a file named my_calculator.py. Make sure it's in a folder you can easily find (e.g., your Desktop or a dedicated github_projects folder).

2. Open your Command Prompt/Terminal:

   • On Windows: Open File Explorer, go to the folder where you saved my_calculator.py. Click in the address bar at the top, type cmd, and press Enter. This will open Command Prompt directly in that folder.
   • On Mac/Linux: Open your Terminal application and use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you saved the file. For example: cd ~/Desktop or cd /path/to/your/folder.

3. Run the Python script:

   • Once you are in the correct folder in your Command Prompt/Terminal, type the following command and press Enter:

     python my_calculator.py

4. Interact with the calculator:

   • Follow the on-screen prompts to enter your numbers and choose an operation.
   • The calculator will perform the calculation and display the result, then the program will exit.
