How to write scripts for buttons to perform arithmetic operations

[WilliamCasey]

Hello LiveCode experts,

I am working on a project that involves creating a simple calculator app using LiveCode. I have followed the tutorial and managed to create a basic interface with buttons and fields. However, I am stuck on how to write the script for the buttons to perform the arithmetic operations. I have searched the LiveCode documentation and forums, but I could not find a clear example or explanation of how to do this.

How can I write a script for the calculator buttons to perform the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations on the numbers entered in the fields? What are the LiveCode commands and syntax that I need to use? How can I handle errors such as dividing by zero or entering invalid input?

I would appreciate any help or guidance on how to solve this problem.

I have a feeling that you should be doing some of the work.

Here is "something" to get you started (it involved about 10 minutes work, so do NOT expect anything very special):

LiveCode commands and syntax

Start with the supplied examples, and then start pooking around in the inbuilt Dictionary.

Traps an error if you try to divide something by zero:

I can't imagine how you could get that impression. It's been less than a day since he posted his question.
