Project Title: "Advanced Calculator Application"

Objective:

To develop a calculator application using C# that initially supports basic arithmetic operations
(addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Once the basics are functional, the intern will
extend the calculator to include advanced functions (e.g., square root, power) and graphing
capabilities.

Project Structure:

1. Project Introduction

● Objective: Understand the project's goals and functionality.


● Tasks:
○ Write a brief description of what the calculator should do, including both the basic
and advanced features.

2. System Design

● Objective: Plan the structure and flow of the calculator.


● Tasks:
○ Define the main components of the application (e.g., user interface, calculation
logic).
○ Create a simple flowchart or diagram showing how user input is processed.

3. Setting Up the Development Environment

● Objective: Familiarize with the tools and environment.


● Tasks:
○ Set up Visual Studio or any preferred IDE.
○ Install necessary libraries or frameworks if needed (e.g., for graphing).

4. Implementing Basic Arithmetic Operations

● Objective: Develop the core functionality of the calculator.


● Tasks:
○ Create the UI:
■ Build a simple console-based or Windows Forms UI for the calculator.
■ Implement buttons for numbers and basic operations (+, -, *, /).
○ Calculation Logic:
■ Write functions to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division.
■ Handle user input and display results on the screen.

5. Adding Advanced Mathematical Functions

● Objective: Extend the calculator with more complex functions.


● Tasks:
○ Implement functions for:
■ Square root
■ Exponentiation (power)
■ Percentage
■ Modulus
○ Update the UI to include buttons for these new functions.
○ Modify the calculation logic to handle these operations.

6. Implementing Error Handling

● Objective: Ensure the application handles errors gracefully.


● Tasks:
○ Implement error handling for divide-by-zero scenarios.
○ Add validation to ensure only valid inputs are processed.
○ Display appropriate error messages to the user.

7. Adding Graphing Capabilities

● Objective: Introduce graphing features to visualize mathematical functions.


● Tasks:
○ Choose a graphing library (e.g., OxyPlot, ZedGraph).
○ Implement the ability to graph basic functions (e.g., y = x², y = sin(x)).
○ Create a simple UI to allow users to input functions and view their graphs.
○ Optional: Add features like zooming and panning in the graph view.

8. Documentation

● Objective: Prepare the project for handover or presentation.


● Tasks:
○ Write a user manual explaining how to use the calculator.
○ Document the code with comments and prepare a technical document explaining
the system's architecture.

9. Testing

● Objective: Ensure the calculator works as expected.


● Tasks:
○ Write unit tests for the basic and advanced operations.
○ Perform manual testing for UI and graphing functionality.

10. Final Presentation

● Objective: Present the completed project.


● Tasks:
○ Prepare a presentation covering the project objectives, development process,
and final output.
○ Demonstrate the working application.

Deliverables:

● Source code of the Calculator Application.


● Project documentation (user manual, technical document).
● A presentation slide deck.
● Final project presentation.

Timeline:

● Week 1-2: Project Introduction & System Design


● Week 3-4: Basic Arithmetic Operations
● Week 5-6: Advanced Functions & Error Handling
● Week 7: Graphing Capabilities
● Week 8: Documentation, Testing & Final Presentation
