Abstract

In this chapter we will step through the development of another Python program; this time the program will be to provide a simple calculator which can be used to add, subtract, multiple and divide numbers. The implementation of the calculator is base on the Function Decomposition performed earlier in the book in the Introduction to Structured Analysis chapter.
