I’ve made a custom dialog that is a simple calculator for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I’m having trouble getting the logic of my code correct. Does anyone have any word of wisdom or know of resource I could check out that could help.
Below is the code for my custom dialog and the calculator Logic that i’m working on. As it is all the calculations work fine except for when i use the equals button. Calculation I do after that point don’t come out right.
Thanks!

Consider separating your app into two parts. The gui gathers the input and selects the action. Now create another class to do the calculations, say Model.java. This class should provide methods that take parameters and provide a return value. Test these isolated methods for accuracy and invalid input, out of range values and senseless input. Design the exceptions for your model to throw. Now connect the GUI to the Model.
