Simple GUI Java calculator

Question

I am building a simple GUI Java calculator  I have an issue finding a package or figuring out a method to do the actual calculation  So far I ve figured that when I do a math operation  the number in the text box gets saved in a temporary location   Then when I click on the     button  it will do the calculation  but I don t know how to tell it to take the temporary plus the math operation and the second number and do the calculation based on the selected math operation clicked     -

assuming that string1 is your whole operation

use mdas

double result;
string recurAndCheck(string operation){
  if(operation.indexOf("/")){
     String leftSide = recurAndCheck(operation.split("/")[0]);
     string rightSide = recurAndCheck(operation.split("/")[1]);
     result = Double.parseDouble(leftSide)/Double.parseDouble(rightSide);

  } else if (..continue w/ *...) {
    //same as above but change / with *
  } else if (..continue w/ -) { 
    //change as above but change with -
  } else if (..continuew with +) {
    //change with add
  } else {
    return;
  }
}

Somewhere you have to keep track of what button had been pressed  When things happen  you need to store something in a variable so you can recall the information or it s gone forever   When someone pressed one of the operator buttons  don t just let them type in another value  Save the operator symbol  then let them type in another value  You could literally just have a String operator that gets the text of the operator button pressed  Then  when the equals button is pressed  you have to check to see which operator you stored  You could do this with an if else if else chain   So  in your symbol s button press event  store the symbol text in a variable  then  in the   button press event  check to see which symbol is in the variable and act accordingly   Alternatively  if you feel comfortable enough with enums  looks like you re just starting  so if you re not to that point yet  ignore this   you could have an enumeration of symbols that lets you check symbols easily with a switch

What you need is something that calculates the result of the infix notated calculation  have a look at the Shunting-Yard Algorithm   There s an example in C   on Wikipedia s page  but it shouldn t be too hard to implement it in Java  And since it s the primary function of your calculator  I would advise you to not grab some codez from the Web in this Case  except all you want to do is building calculator GUIs
