Can you explain your problem?

try removing the this in the switch statement.

so what can i put instead of this in the swith statement

What do you want the switch statement to do? What case statement do you want executed?
What code decides which case statement should be executed? IE Where is operation given a value?

Why do you have more than one variable named operation?

I want to use switch statement to perform add,subtract,multiply,division.

How/where do you give a value to the operation variable so that the switch statement will select the case statement corresponding to the operation that you want to do?

A 'switch-case' statement?!? Dude; you are confused. Your code already has a bunch of listener classes wired up correctly. The system is already dispatching to the appropriate methods. What's stopping you from putting the code in the methods you've created for that purpose?!?!?!?!? ;)

To make progress, you need to think through what you want the program to do. You need to think about how you want it to work and be used. It appears at this point like you want to use the calculator display as a stack. (I'm OK with that, if that's what you want to do.) So I'm assuming that if you put "23 55" on the display and press the "+" button, it should change the display to "78". Is that what you want?

I think that if you want this to be a more conventional HP-like RPN calculator, then you'll have to bring back the "Enter" button, and start using the Stack again.

I am using equal button.like if someone put 5 +3= it shows 8 and addition case will be executed..

If the textfield contains "5+3" you need to parse it and separate the operands from the operator. Your listener for "=" doesn't consider what is in the textfield and calls a parseDouble method which throws a NumberFormatException.

use an Arrays of JButtons[] (starts with zero ==0 ), in this case you doesn'd care about return value, because JButton[0] will returns always 0 value,

change JTextField to the JFormattedJTextField with Number Formatter, then can add only [0-9] and decimal separator,

you have to look for Nested layout (free combinations of LayoutManagers),

a few great GUI for Calculators on this Forum

so what can i put instead of this in the swith statement

I'm sorry for the late response. Just replace it with the name of the variable.

ok i replace my swich statment.
