Timed Calculator

This timed Python cacluator program is a simple program that allows users to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Notably, it includes a timed feature which displays the time taken to execute each operation. This addition provides users with insight into the computational efficiency of their calculations. Furthermore, the program offers various expansion options for further enhancement. These options include integrating additional mathematical functions, improving the user interface with graphical elements, implementing memory capabilities, enhancing error handling, tracking calculation history, incorporating unit conversion, introducing scientific calculator mode, enabling expression evaluation, supporting internationalization, and optimizing performance. These expansions would elevate the calculator's functionality, usability, and versatility, catering to a wider range of user needs and preferences.

   return x + y

def subtract(x, y):
   return x - y

def multiply(x, y):
   return x * y

def divide(x, y):
   if y == 0:
       return "Cannot divide by zero"
   else:
       return x / y

Timing the calculator operations offers insights into efficiency for developers, aiding in identifying bottlenecks and optimizing algorithms. Additionally, it provides users with a sense of performance, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios, and adds transparency and trust in the accuracy of the tool. Overall, integrating timing enhances both developer insights and user experience, making the calculator more efficient and reliable.
