Inspiration
As both my partner and I, rising woman of STEM, this being my partners second hackathon, whilst this is my first, we wanted to take a regular calculator and make it something more fun and exciting to use. Inspired by the classic meme “FreakBob is Calling,” we came up with the idea to incorporate other popular memes into the design, turning simple math into a unique and entertaining experience. The goal was to keep the calculator functional while adding a creative twist that makes it stand out and feel more engaging.
What it does
The FreakBob Calculator allows users to input two sets of numbers and choose the operation they would like to perform, such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (x), or division (/). What makes this calculator unique is that it adds a quirky twist of a typical calculator while maintaining its functionality and ease of use.
How we built it
C programming
Challenges we ran into
At first when trying to print the pictures we tried to do it directly inside the code, however, after coming across numerous errors, we decided it would be best to print the picture into a file and calling it back into the terminal, taking up less space inside the code.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning how to incorporate FILE IO and implanting loops inside the functions and be able to call back the function inside the main
What we learned
We learned how to utilize FILE IO and loops inside the functions
What's next for Freak Bob Calc (Short for Calculator)
Learning how to display negative numbers and special characters when it comes to printing the pictures.
