You’re issue is here:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{izzy.n/izzy.n.calculator}: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.Button
What it means, is that you are casting something to a Button which isn’t a Button.
If you go to your XML file, check which one of these isn’t a Button.
Perhaps you used ImageButton instead? It needs changing to just Button if you did.
If this isn’t your fix, please post up your XML document R.layout.calc.
