C Calculator

A simple yet efficient calculator built with the C programming language

Overview

C Calculator is a command-line calculator application that demonstrates fundamental programming concepts in C. It provides basic arithmetic operations with a clean, user-friendly interface designed for learning and practical use.

Features

• Basic Arithmetic Operations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• Lightweight: Minimal dependencies and fast execution
• Educational: Clean code structure ideal for learning C programming
• Cross-Platform: Compatible with any system that supports a C compiler

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• GCC compiler (or any C compiler)
• Terminal/Command Prompt
