OpenAI Calculator

A simple calculator that uses OpenAI's function calling to process mathematical expressions and return results in JSON format.

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/s2005/openai-calculator.git
   cd openai-calculator

2. Set up a virtual environment:

   On Linux/macOS:

   # Create virtual environment
   python3 -m venv venv
   
   # Activate virtual environment
   source venv/bin/activate   # For bash/zsh
   # OR
   . venv/bin/activate       # Alternative method

   On Windows:

   # Create virtual environment
   python -m venv venv
   
   # Activate virtual environment
   .\venv\Scripts\activate    # For PowerShell
   # OR
   venv\Scripts\activate.bat  # For Command Prompt

3. Install the requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Copy .env.template to .env and add your OpenAI API key:

   cp .env.template .env
   # Edit .env and add your OpenAI API key

   Note: On Windows, you can copy the file using:

   copy .env.template .env

Usage

Basic usage:

python calculator.py "2 + 2"

With optional parameters:

python calculator.py --model gpt-4 --temperature 0.2 "23 * 45"

Command Line Arguments

• expression: The mathematical expression to evaluate (required)
• --model: OpenAI model to use (default: gpt-3.5-turbo)
• --temperature: Temperature for response generation (default: 0.0)

Example Output

{
  "expression": "2 + 2",
  "result": 4,
  "operation_type": "addition"
}

Error Handling

If an error occurs, the output will be in the following format:

{
  "error": "error message",
  "expression": "original expression",
  "status": "failed"
}
