Python Calculator

Final class project python Spring 2018. Co-Authored with Rania Jameel.

This calculator has 3 main modules: The standard calculator interface, a note taking utility, and a very basic visual graphing calculator.

Some minor improvements have been made since the original project submission.

Dependencies

The graphing calculator portion of this project requires two dependencies for working with complex algebraic expressions. Alternatively, you may run it without the graphing calculator with argument --nograph

Issues

Being that this was one of my first "major" projects using python, it has a few issues.

  • This calculator uses a very sloppy and dangerous method of evaluating, using eval(). This allows the user to input any python code and it will execute, input is not sanitized. For this reason it is not suitable for deployment in any capacity.

  • The graphing calculator requires a very specific expression format to evaluate. Many commonly used shorthand/alternative methods of writing expressions will not be parsed.

  • The graphing calculator overall was very messy. It was created last, when due date was approaching.
