About:
This is a scientific calculator built using C++ and wxWidgets. The application provides an interactive GUI with dynamically created buttons using a Singleton Pattern Button Factory, allowing for a flexible and scalable design.Contributions:
- Designed and developed a responsive GUI using wxWidgets to provide an intuitive and visually engaging user experience.
- Implemented the Shunting Yard Algorithm for parsing mathematical expressions efficiently.
- Developed a Button Factory using the Singleton design pattern to dynamically create all calculator buttons with consistent styling and event handling.
- Integrated support for basic arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) as well as scientific functions such as sin, cos, tan, and modulus.
- Styled each button with a unique color scheme and hover effects to enhance clarity and usability across different button types.
- Applied object-oriented principles including modularity and encapsulation to separate concerns across input, layout, and logic components.
- Configured compiler and linker settings to work seamlessly with wxWidgets, ensuring successful builds and easy replication on other systems.
- Eliminated system-default hover effects and added custom interactivity to improve the look and feel of the UI.
- Tested and debugged layout responsiveness to support various screen sizes and resolutions within the application window.
