Calculator

Locked

The calculator is like a rite-of-passage in programming. Every decent noob simply must write a program that adds and subtracts. Now that we already know how to manipulate classes and static methods, we'll create a regular calculator with four arithmetic operations and even the ability to find a percentage of a number!

Okay, the requirement checking on this one is really bad. Why do I have to convert integers a and b to double using (double)? Why is it an issue if I just change the input parameter datatype to double? Again, this course has been fantastic thus far with the lessons and what not, but this one specifically is TERRIBAD.

Is the third requirement not a/b? Why is it not working?

Hey! I have found out how to solve the Calculator task simply! Here's should will help you so much!; (This is a new concept. Keep that in mind. :).). For the multiply and divide problems, use this to help you; double k = (double)b / c; Do you get it now?! :>. I hope you do understand!

writing (double)a and (double)b does the trick too.

The last method has int as arguments but returns a double. Sneaky casting had me stumped.

Note that in the division and percent methods you need to convert them into double numbers. You can add a double in parenthesis next to at least one number. For example: If a is an integer, then (double)a/3 gives you a double number. And if you want the x percent of the y number. First you need to divide x/100 and then multiply it by y.

The method percent returns a double but b is an int and you want the method to return b, how's that possible? Would you like us to cast b as a double ?
