🏗️ Technical Architecture

Class-Based Design

The calculator implements a modern Singleton pattern with comprehensive state management[2]:

class Calculator {
    constructor() {
        // Prevent multiple instances
        if (Calculator.instance) {
            return Calculator.instance;
        }
        Calculator.instance = this;
        // Initialize calculator components
    }
}

Input Validation System

Multi-layered validation ensures mathematical accuracy[1]:

• Character Validation: Only allows valid mathematical characters
• Expression Validation: Prevents invalid operator sequences
• Parentheses Balancing: Ensures proper parentheses matching
• Decimal Point Validation: Prevents multiple decimals in single numbers

Error Handling

Comprehensive error management system[2]:

safeEvaluate(expression) {
    try {
        // Sanitize and validate expression
        const result = Function(`"use strict"; return (${expression})`)();
        return this.handleMathematicalEdgeCases(result);
    } catch (error) {
        return "Error";
    }
}

🎨 Customization

Theme Colors

Modify CSS custom properties in style.css:

/* Light Theme */
.calculator button.btn-number {
    background-color: #c3eaff;
    color: #000;
}

/* Dark Theme */
.calculator.dark button.btn-number {
    background-color: #1b2f38;
    color: #f8fafb;
}

Calculator Dimensions

Adjust calculator size:

.calculator {
    padding: 20px;
    border-radius: 10px;
    /* Modify width/height as needed */
}

Animation Speed

Control button animations:

button {
    transition: all 200ms ease;
}
