I WAS WONDERING IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME MOVE THE JTextField above all my buttons like a normal calculator. Also, after this I don't know how to connect the basic calculations to operation buttons. When the user clicks a button the text appears in the textfield but I don't know how to make the operation buttons work.

Please edit your code and add CODE tags to preserve the formatting. See http://www.java-forums.org/misc.php?do=bbcode#code

If you want your text field all by it self at the top of the window, you'll need to use another layout manager. You can nest your usage of layout managers. Have one for the textfield at the top and the rest of the buttons with another layout manager in the center. See the BorderLayout for that style.

I don't know how to make the operation buttons work.

Can you describe what action you want taken when the operation buttons are pressed.

actions I want are adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying. What layout managers should I use?

What layout managers should I use?

Look at the BorderLayout.

actions I want are adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying.

For addition: take the first operand and add it to the second
Do similar for the rest of the actions replacing add with the appropriate operation.

To know which action to take, you could have a different listener for each button
Or you could see which component was pressed and key your actions on that.
