How I Built the Calculator (An Odin Foundations Project)

This was the final project of The Odin Project’s Foundations course, and it tied everything together — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and DOM manipulation. The structure was straightforward: a simple calculator layout with a display and buttons for numbers, operators, clear, decimal, and equals. Using event listeners, I managed the logic for basic arithmetic operations and user input. One of the interesting parts was adding keyboard support. I had to map keyboard keys like / to their respective buttons like ÷, and ensure input chaining didn’t break the app — especially with negatives or repeated operators. I even caught and fixed a NaN+ bug caused by incomplete input. Seeing it all come together and then deploying it through GitHub Pages felt super satisfying — like building something from scratch and actually using it. Simple, but powerful!

How I completed the Etch-A-Sketch (A Odin Foundation's Project)

As I navigated through the Assignment at hand, I realized that it required the understanding of DOM Manipulation, for which I went to MDN for more explanations to it. It is a simple design in which the user first enters a number for which the loop creates a grid. Those squares are colored black with opacity set to '0.1'. As soon as the mouse hovers through any block, it's opacity starts to increase and it gives a perspective how those paint applications that we have been using since childhood, work!
