In this video tutorial we shall perform Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division of numbers based on user input, using switch case statement(decision control statement).

Working of Calculator Program
We display list of operation one can perform. That is,
1. Addition
2. Subtraction
3. Multiplication
4. Division
We ask the user to input his / her choice for arithmetic operation. If the user selects 1, then we ask the user to enter 2 integer numbers to perform addition operation. Once the user enters 2 integer numbers we add and display the result on the screen.
If the user enters wrong choice, we ask the user to enter proper choice.
Calculator Program using Switch Case: C Program
#include < stdio.h >
int main()
{
int a, b;
char choice;
printf("Enter your choice\n");
printf("a. Addition\nb. Subtraction\nc. Multiplication\nd. Division\n");
scanf("%c", &choice);
printf("Enter 2 integer numbers\n");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
switch(choice)
{
case 'a': printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, (a+b));
break;
case 'b': printf("%d - %d = %d\n", a, b, (a-b));
break;
case 'c': printf("%d x %d = %d\n", a, b, (a*b));
break;
case 'd': if( b != 0)
printf("%d / %d = %d\n", a, b, (a/b));
else
printf("Number can't be divided by 0\n");
break;
default: printf("You entered wrong choice\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
Output
Enter your choice
a. Addition
b. Subtraction
c. Multiplication
d. Division
c
Enter 2 integer numbers
5
10
5 x 10 = 50
In above program we are asking user to enter character a or b or c or d to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations respectively.
#include < stdio.h >
int main()
{
int a, b, choice;
printf("Enter your choice\n");
printf("1. Addition\n2. Subtraction\n3. Multiplication\n4. Division\n");
scanf("%d", &choice);
if( choice > 4 )
{
printf("Select with in the range!\n");
}
else
{
printf("Enter 2 integer numbers\n");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
}
switch(choice)
{
case 1: printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, (a+b));
break;
case 2: printf("%d - %d = %d\n", a, b, (a-b));
break;
case 3: printf("%d x %d = %d\n", a, b, (a*b));
break;
case 4: if( b != 0)
printf("%d / %d = %d\n", a, b, (a/b));
else
printf("Number can't be divided by 0\n");
break;
default: printf("You entered wrong choice\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter your choice
1. Addition
2. Subtraction
3. Multiplication
4. Division
4
Enter 2 integer numbers
10
2
10 / 2 = 5
Here we are asking user to enter 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 to choose the arithmetic operation.
#include
int main()
{
int a, b;
char choice;
printf("Enter your choice\n");
printf("1. Addition\n2. Subtraction\n3. Multiplication\n4. Division\n");
scanf("%c", &choice);
printf("Enter 2 integer numbers. Format: a + b\n");
scanf("%d %c %d", &a, &choice, &b);
switch(choice)
{
case '+': printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, (a+b));
break;
case '-': printf("%d - %d = %d\n", a, b, (a-b));
break;
case '*': printf("%d x %d = %d\n", a, b, (a*b));
break;
case '/': if( b != 0)
printf("%d / %d = %d\n", a, b, (a/b));
else
printf("Number can't be divided by 0\n");
break;
default: printf("You entered wrong choice\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter your choice
1. Addition
2. Subtraction
3. Multiplication
4. Division
1
Enter 2 integer numbers. Format: a + b
50 + 60
50 + 60 = 110
Here we ask the user to enter values as well as the operation to be performed. Operands and operator.
Note 1: There is no need of curly braces inside case.
Note 2: If a case doesn’t end with break statement, then the execution continues and the block of code present inside next case will also get executed.
Note 3: default case is optional. And the code inside it executes only when non of the cases match.
Note 4: Here switch, case, break, default are all keywords / reserve words.
