Overview

This PR adds a comprehensive README.md file to document the Calculator project. The previous README contained only a title ("# Calculator"), which provided no useful information for users or developers wanting to understand, install, or contribute to the project.

Changes

The new README.md includes all essential documentation sections:

  • Title and Description: Clear introduction describing this as a GUI-based calculator built with Python and Kivy
  • Features: Highlights 7 key capabilities including interactive GUI interface, basic arithmetic operations, decimal support, error handling, and cross-platform compatibility
  • Requirements: Lists Python 3.6+ and Kivy 2.0.0+ with links to detailed installation guides
  • Installation: Step-by-step instructions for cloning the repository and installing dependencies
  • Usage: Command examples showing how to run the application (python Calculator.py) with detailed usage instructions and example calculations
  • Project Structure: Visual overview of the repository structure and code architecture
  • Tests: Manual testing guidance with a comprehensive testing checklist
  • Contributing: Complete contribution workflow with 5 steps and ideas for future enhancements
  • License: Open source licensing information
  • Contact: Repository and issue tracker links for support

Example

Users can now quickly get started with clear instructions:

# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/phantomop26/Calculator.git
cd Calculator
pip install kivy

# Run the calculator
python Calculator.py

The README accurately reflects the Kivy-based GUI nature of the application and provides all information needed for users to install, run, and contribute to the project.

Impact

  • Improved developer onboarding experience
  • Clear documentation for new users
  • Established contribution guidelines
  • Professional project presentation
