Sure Cogman, here's the code I was working on in the calculator tutorial:
PHP:
private void btnEqual_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
total2 = total1 + double.Parse(txtDisplay.Text);
txtDisplay.Text = total2.ToString();
total1 = 0;
switch (theOperator)
{
case "+":
total1 = total1 + double.Parse(txtDisplay.Text);
break;
case "-":
total1 = total1 - double.Parse(txtDisplay.Text);
break;
case "*":
total1 = total1 * double.Parse(txtDisplay.Text);
break;
case "/":
total1 = total1 / double.Parse(txtDisplay.Text);
break;
}
}
Now, I should explain that the author had me do if...else with bool commands such as:
bool minusButtonClicked = false;
bool plusButtonClicked = false;
etc etc.. and that worked perfectly. I was able to use double for a more precise calculation, allowing me to use decimals in the equation. Everything worked wonderfully, and I could do a simple 3*12*30-5 etc etc equation, and it would give me the correct number.
He then told me to use the switch method, with the case variables.. and that is where everything went haywire. the switch command kept coming up and an invalid token, no matter where I put it (I finally figured it out to where I didn't have any squiggly red lines), but now it only adds correctly, and nothing else. I try to add and then subtract, and it comes up with numbers that I -know- are not right, and divide and multiply do not even work anymore. I finally gave up on it, and moved on to the next chapter
