Writing Code for the Program Step 1 Click on the source tab present next to the design tab just above the design area. Now a code editor window will get opened. Take the cursor to the line were a similar code is written as below: public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame { Click after flower bracket ({) and press enter key in the key board. The cursor will be dropped down to the next line. Now type the following code: //variables double firstDouble; double secondDouble; double totalDouble; //to check for button clicks int plusClick; int minusClick; int multiplyClick; int divideClick; int decimalClick; int powerClick; Step 2: Click on the design tab. The design window gets reopened. Now double click on each button, and then code editor window for that will get opened. Erase the line // TODO add your handling code here: Each time. Write the code as below: For button Button1: display.setText(display.getText()+"1"); For button Button2: display.setText(display.getText()+"2"); For button Button3: display.setText(display.getText()+"3"); For button Button4: display.setText(display.getText()+"4"); For button Button5: display.setText(display.getText()+"5"); For button Button6: display.setText(display.getText()+"6");

For button Button7: display.setText(display.getText()+"7"); For button Button8: display.setText(display.getText()+"8"); For button Button9: display.setText(display.getText()+"9"); For button Button0: display.setText(display.getText()+"0"); For button clear: display.setText(""); decimalClick=1; For button exit: System.exit(0); For button decimal: if (decimalClick==1) { display.setText(display.getText()+"."); decimalClick=0; For button percent: double per; double sec=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); display.setText(""); per=(firstDouble*100)/sec; display.setText(""+per); For button sign: Double x = Double.parseDouble( display.getText()); x=x*(-1); display.setText(""+x); For button plus: firstDouble=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); display.setText(""); plusClick=1; decimalClick=1; For button minus: firstDouble=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); display.setText(""); minusClick=1; decimalClick=1; For button multiply: firstDouble=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); display.setText(""); multiplyClick=1; decimalClick=1; For button divide: firstDouble=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); display.setText(""); divideClick=1; decimalClick=1; For button equals: secondDouble=Double.parseDouble(display.getText()); if (plusClick==1)

{ totalDouble=firstDouble+secondDouble; display.setText(""+totalDouble); firstDouble=0; secondDouble=0; plusClick=0; } if (minusClick==1) { totalDouble=firstDouble-secondDouble; display.setText(""+totalDouble); firstDouble=0; secondDouble=0; minusClick=0; } if (multiplyClick==1) { totalDouble=firstDouble*secondDouble; display.setText(""+totalDouble); firstDouble=1; secondDouble=1; multiplyClick=0; } if (divideClick==1) { totalDouble=firstDouble/secondDouble; display.setText(""+totalDouble); firstDouble=1; secondDouble=1; divideClick=0; } Building and Running the Program Step 1: Move the mouse point over the Run option in the menu bar. Now a drop down menu appears, click on the Clean and Build Project option. After the process is completed (within 1 or 2 minutes) again move the mouse point over the Run option in the menu bar, in drop down menu click on the Run Project option. Now an application named Calculator is seen on the screen. Check by doing calculations on it. Isnt it similar to a manual calculator?
