Switch case calculator in JavaScript
Let’s say, we are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string like these to create a calculator −
"4 add 6" "6 divide 7" "23 modulo 8"
Basically, the idea is that the string will contain two numbers on either sides and a string representing the operation in the middle.
The string in the middle can take one of these five values −
"add", "divide", "multiply", "modulo", "subtract"
Our job is to return the correct result based on the string
Example
Let’s write the code for this function −
const problem = "3 add 16";
const calculate = opr => {
const [num1, operation, num2] = opr.split(" ");
switch (operation) {
case "add":
return +num1 + +num2;
case "divide":
return +num1 / +num2;
case "subtract":
return +num1 - +num2;
case "multiply":
return +num1 * +num2;
case "modulo":
return +num1 % +num2;
default:
return 0;
}
}
console.log(calculate(problem));Output
The output in the console: −
