Basic Calculator
The basic Calculator is a straightforward calculator with the most common operators such as plus,
minus, times and divide. Unlike other calculator programs this calculator can perform correct floating point operations.

/ or ÷ --> Divide
( and ) --> Open and closed parentheses
, --> decimal number
N --> Negative number
Enter --> Calculate
