Basic Calculator Program

This is a simple Python program that performs basic mathematical operations. The program prompts the user to input two numbers and an operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) and then displays the result.

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 a check for division by zero).

Requirements

• Python 3.x

How to Use

1. Clone this repository or download the Python script file.

   git clone https://github.com/KabeloMatlakala/Intro-To-Python.git

2. Navigate to the directory containing the script:

cd basic-calculator

3. Run the Python program:

python calculator.py

4. Follow the prompts: Enter the first number. Enter the second number. Enter the mathematical operation you want to perform (+, -, *, /). The program will display the result of the operation.

Example

Enter the first number: 10
Enter the second number: 5
Enter the operation (+, -, *, /): +
10.0 + 5.0 = 15.0

Error Handling

• If the user tries to divide by zero, the program will display an error message: Error: Division by zero is not allowed.
• If an invalid operation is entered, the program will inform the user that the operation is invalid.
