Create a Binary Calculator Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

A binary calculator is a program that performs mathematical calculation on binary numbers. Now, as of you remember the binary numbers are those numbers which are formed from only two numbers i.e., 0 and 1. In this blog, we will use this program to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on binary numbers. This will be a basic calculator that will use basic concepts of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to do the same. So, let's get started with the HTML structure.

HTML Structure

Firstly, we will make a form which will be divided into table rows giving features like adding 1, adding 0, clearing the display and buttons of plus, minus, multiply and divide sign with a equal to sign.

   

      

         

            
         
      
      

         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
         

            
         
      
      

         

            Equivalent Decimal is:
            

         
      
      

         

            

         
      
      
   

As you can see, we have an input field with the id "display" which is disabled. This field will be used to display the input and the result of the calculation. We also have a set of buttons for the different binary digits (0 and 1) and the different mathematical operations (+,-,*,/). Each button has an onclick attribute that triggers a JavaScript function when clicked.

CSS Styling

Next, we will add some CSS styling to make our calculator look more presentable.

JavaScript Functionality

Finally, we will add the JavaScript functionality to our calculator.

               Equivalent Decimal is:
               

            
         
         

            

               

            
         
         
      
   
   

In this tutorial, we have learned how to create a binary calculator using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. We have seen how to set up the HTML structure, add CSS styling and JavaScript functionality to create a working calculator. You can add more functionality like handling error cases and adding more operations as per your requirement. This project can help you understand how different languages work together to create a dynamic and interactive web application.
