Hello and welcome back to another episode of Coding with Chat GBT Live Sessions! Today, we are diving into a timeless project: building a calculator. Whether you have done this before or it’s your first time, today’s session will have a twist as we rely solely on ChatGPT’s guidance. Will it be simple or scientific? Let’s find out together!
Remember, these sessions are unscripted, capturing the true essence of live coding. So let’s get started!
I have already created a basic React.js project with the ‘Hello World’ message and configured the Tailwind CSS for styling. Now, let’s go back to ChatGPT and optimize our prompt.
Our first prompt is to create a simple calculator app using React.js and Tailwind CSS. The calculator should have basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. It is important to provide a fully completed code that is ready for production. The user interface should be highly user-friendly, providing an amazing user experience. The UI should have a modern and attractive appearance.
Let’s see how ChatGPT optimizes our prompt. Oops, it seems like there was an error in optimizing the prompt. Let me try again.
As an expert in React.js and Tailwind CSS, your mission is to create an innovative and visually appealing calculator app. Carefully craft the user interface, allowing users to perform calculations effortlessly. Utilize Tailwind CSS to style the app, ensuring it is responsive across different devices.
To accomplish this task, follow the steps below:
- Set up a new React.js project.
- Create a new component and design the layout of the calculator.
- Implement the necessary functions for basic operations.
- Create UI components and build display screens.
- Handle user interactions.
- Test the calculator app.
- Deploy the app.
Now, let’s try to optimize our prompt again. Oops, it seems like there is still an issue. Let me try a different plugin.
Great! The plugin has been selected. Now, let’s paste our initial prompt and see how it optimizes it.
Can you please create a calculator application using React.js and Tailwind CSS? The calculator should have both simple and scientific functionalities, including basic operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It is important to provide a fully completed code that is ready for production without leaving out any essential components. Additionally, please ensure that the user interface is highly user-friendly, providing an amazing user experience. The UI should have a modern and attractive appearance.
Now that our prompt has been optimized, let’s proceed with building the calculator app.
I have copied the code from the app.js file and tested it in the browser. The calculator is working fine, but let’s ask ChatGPT to improve it.
Please make a better calculator with a modern UI and scientific calculations.
Now, let’s copy this code and replace the app.js file with it. Load the app in the browser. Wow, it looks much better than before! It now has a modern UI and additional scientific operations like square root.
Let’s take a look at the source code that has been generated. In the app.js file, we have two states: input and result. The handleButtonClick function is executed whenever a button is clicked. The calculate function evaluates the expression and updates the result state. The UI is built using Tailwind CSS and HTML.
In conclusion, our calculator, built with the combined power of human intuition and ChatGPT’s artificial intelligence, showcases the blend of creativity and unpredictability in coding. If you enjoyed this genuine approach to building, leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more such adventures. Until next time, keep exploring the vast world of coding and always be ready to learn something new!
