So I am making a calculator and I have set it up so that the operator is one of four different operations. But i can not seem to figure out how to execute the equation while using a variable.
function execute_eqation()
one = string1.Text
two = string2.Text
output.Text = one..op..two.." = "..one(tostring(op))two
end
equals.MouseButton1Down:connect(execute_eqation)
this is how I did it for my homemade homework program (I was bored, and it gave me homework, not did it for me.)
function execute_eqation()
one = string1.Text
two = string2.Text
if opchoice == 1 then
output.Text = one .. "+" .. two .. "=" .. one + two
elseif opchoice == 2 then
output.Text = one .. "-" .. two .. "=" .. one - two
elseif opchoice == 3 then
output.Text = one .. "x" .. two .. "=" .. one * two
elseif opchoice == 4 then
output.Text = one .. "/" .. two .. "=" .. one / two
end
end
equals.MouseButton1Down:connect(execute_eqation)
I know it's not what You wanted, but I honestly have no idea how to do it otherwise. just have it so it changes the opchoice value depending on which operator you click.
