How can I add more complex mathematical operations to the Calculator template?

To add more complex operations to the Calculator template, you can modify the Python code in main.py. Here's an example of how to add a power operation:

```python @app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def calculator(): result = None if request.method == 'POST': try: num1 = float(request.form['num1']) num2 = float(request.form['num2']) operation = request.form['operation']

           # ... existing code ...

           elif operation == 'power':
               result = num1  num2
       except ValueError:
           return "Error: Please enter valid numbers!"

   return render_template('calculator.html', result=result)

```

Don't forget to add the new operation to the HTML select element in calculator.html:

html <select id="operation" name="operation"> <!-- ... existing options ... --> <option value="power">Power (^)</option> </select>

How can I implement error handling for invalid inputs in the Calculator template?

The Calculator template already includes basic error handling, but you can enhance it further. Here's an example of how to implement more detailed error handling:

```python @app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST']) def calculator(): result = None error = None if request.method == 'POST': try: num1 = float(request.form['num1']) num2 = float(request.form['num2']) operation = request.form['operation']

           if operation == 'divide' and num2 == 0:
               error = "Error: Division by zero is not allowed!"
           else:
               # Perform calculation
               # ... existing code ...

       except ValueError:
           error = "Error: Please enter valid numbers!"

   return render_template('calculator.html', result=result, error=error)

```

Then, update the calculator.html to display the error:

```html {% if error %}

{% endif %} ```

This approach provides more specific error messages and improves the user experience of the Calculator template.
