Welcome to Calculator App, a simple yet elegant web-based calculator that performs basic arithmetic operations with a touch of style and functionality! This project combines HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to deliver an intuitive and responsive user experience.

Responsive Design
Looks great on devices of all sizes.
- HTML (
index.html): The foundation of the calculator, defining the structure and layout. - CSS (
style.css): Handles the styling, giving the calculator its polished look. - JavaScript (
script.js): The brain behind the calculator, implementing functionality.
The HTML defines three key areas:
- Screen: Displays the entered numbers and results.
- Controls: Contains buttons for numbers, operations, and special functions.
- Footer: Includes copyright information and a GitHub link.
The CSS (linked externally) ensures the interface is visually appealing, responsive, and consistent across devices.
The JavaScript file (script.js) brings life to the calculator with:
-
