Thread: Create a calculator with JCreator

Dear Java Friends;
I have got a problem when coding a java program to create a calculator with JCreator. Please help me to write codes for decimal point.

• Decimal point should not be set to the text more than 1 time until an operator is pressed.
• How can I use a Boolean value to solve this problem.

What code do you have so far?
You would use a boolean variable to remember an event. It would be false until the event happened, then it would be set true.

This is the code that I have coded. Please help me to re-correct my program, as the decimal point is not working properly.

the decimal point is not working properly

Can your be more specific about the problem?
Show what program does, describe why that is wrong and show what it should do.

Hello Java Friends;
Sorry for the delay reply...
The Decimal Point is not working properly.
The program should not set the decimal point to a number more than one time; until an operator is pressed. I have given the code that I have coded. But I can't re-correct the error. Please help me to solve this problem.

program should not set the decimal point to a number more than one time

It would help if you could post an example of the program doing this.
Use println() to output the wrong results with a comment about how its wrong.

It sounds like you need a flag to remember if a decimal point has been set and to not allow another if one has been entered.
