Output:
Welcome to our simple calculator.
Please enter expressions using floating-point numbers.
Currently available operators are: '(', ')', '*', '/', '+', '-' and '!'.
Use '=' to get result or 'x' to quit the program.

  1. Thanks for your article on the traveling industry. I would also like to include that if you’re a senior taking into account traveling, its absolutely crucial that you buy travel insurance for senior citizens. When traveling, retirees are at biggest risk of experiencing a health emergency. Obtaining right insurance policies package on your age group can protect your health and provide you with peace of mind.

  2. In line 135, you have “left *= i;”. What if left is a double for example “4.5”? Wouldn’t your factorial be 4.5*3*3*1?

  3. It’s a factorial operator, I think that might answer the question 🙂
