Learning how to write a code in JavaScript is a wonderful felling why because almost all web applications uses JavaScript in their websites. In this article I will show you how to create a program using JavaScript a simple math calculator that will perform basic arithmetic operations using radio buttons to select addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations. I also includes error trapping routines to check and block invalid entry values by our user. I hope you will find my work useful in your programming assignments and projects using JavaScript.
