Here is my code
excuse me if it seems a bit off
i've only been coding for a day :)
What I want it to do is in the comments at the top
/*======================================================================
IN THIS PROGRAM I WILL TRY AND SCRIPT A CONVENTIONAL CALCULATOR
WITH THE USER ENTERING THE NUMBERS THEY WISH TO MULTIPLY ADD ECT.
ALSO I WILL MAKE A CANCEL FUNCTION WHICH ERASES OR LOOPS THE PROGRAM.
JUST TO CLARIFY THIS PROGRAM IS COMPLETELY MADE UP AND WAS MADE BY ME
WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
31/08/2010 13:00 - STARTED
31/08/2010 15:28 - FINISHED
HAS SOME FLAWS IF YOU TYPE 'C' INTO WHERE IT ASKS FOR A NUMBER IT GOES CRAZY.
ALSO SOME FUNCTIONS ARE NOT COMPLETE SUCH AS THE CANCEL FUNCTION, I WANT
IT TO CLOSE THE PROGRAM WHEN 'C' IS PRESSED.
ALSO THE FUGTURE MODULUS FUNCTION IS YET TO BE CREATED.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
31/08/2010 - 16:24 STARTED
31/08/2010 - 16:34 FINISHED
STILL CAN'T GET FUNCTIONS TO WORK SUCH AS MODULUS AND CANCEL.
