Setting Up
Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Dart journey — lesson 87 of 94.
Challenge
BeginnerIn this project, you will build a simple calculator application in Dart. The calculator will perform basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) on two numbers.
Let's start by creating the shell of our calculator program. We need to:
- Display a welcome message to the user
- Create a main function that will be the entry point of our program
Write a simple Dart program that prints a welcome message: "Welcome to the Simple Calculator!"
Try it yourself
import 'dart:io';
void main() {
// Your code here
