New Python Program: Simple Calculator

Create the named file, simple_calculator.py, as a Python 3 command-line program. Start by reviewing the task requirements, then run it with the example inputs, each arithmetic operation, invalid input, and division by zero. It is done when it prompts clearly, returns correct results, and handles errors gracefully.

Hello Python enthusiasts! Let's enhance our repository with a Simple Calculator implemented in Python. This beginner-friendly task involves creating a command-line calculator that can perform basic arithmetic operations. This program will showcase fundamental input handling, arithmetic operations, and conditional statements in Python.

Tasks:

• Implement functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Allow users to input two numbers and select an operation (+, -, *, /).
• Perform the corresponding operation and display the result to the user.
• Handle division by zero and invalid inputs gracefully.
• Provide clear instructions and error messages for the users.

Guidelines:

• Use Python 3.x for the program.
• Implement functions to handle each arithmetic operation separately.
• Ensure the calculator provides clear prompts and feedback to the user.
• Include comments in your code to explain the logic and functionality.
• Test the calculator with various inputs to ensure accurate calculations.

Example:

Welcome to the Simple Calculator!

Please enter the first number: 10
Please enter the second number: 5
Select operation (+, -, *, /): +

Result: 10 + 5 = 15
