Here's an example of a README file tailored for your Simple Calculator Python project:
Simple Calculator in Python A simple command-line calculator built in Python that performs basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This project is ideal for beginners learning Python and how to work with functions, user input, and basic error handling.
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 error handling for division by zero. Requirements Python 3.x (Recommended version: Python 3.6 or higher) Installation Clone this repository to your local machine:
bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/your-username/simple-calculator.git Navigate into the project directory:
bash Copy code cd simple-calculator No additional installations or dependencies are required to run the calculator. The program runs with Python's built-in modules.
Usage Run the Python script calculator.py:
