C++ Program to Make a Simple Calculator to Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide Using switch case.

This program takes an arithmetic operator (+, -, *, /) and two operands from an user and performs the operation on those two operands depending upon the operator entered by user.

Example:

# include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    char op;
    float num1, num2;

    cout << "Enter operator either + or - or * or /: ";
    cin >> op;

    cout << "Enter two operands: ";
    cin >> num1 >> num2;

    switch(op)
    {
        case '+':
            cout << num1+num2;
            break;

        case '-':
            cout << num1-num2;
            break;

        case '*':
            cout << num1*num2;
            break;

        case '/':
            cout << num1/num2;
            break;

        default:
  // If the operator is other than +, -, * or /, error message is shown
            cout << "Error! operator is not correct";
            break;
    }

    return 0;
}

Output:

Enter operator either + or - or * or divide : -
Enter two operands: 
3.4
8.4
3.4 - 8.4 = -5.0
