We are going to use a python library pyautogui which is a cross platform library. It means we can write code only once and can run that on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Let&#8217;s get started with the interesting part that is automating the calculator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Firstly make sure that you have python installed in your system. Then install pyautogui by following the guide in this <a href=\"https:\/\/pyautogui.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/install.html\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Create a file with the name test.py and paste the below code. You can change the opening calculator code according to your operating system. I am using Ubuntu to make it work.<\/p>\n<p><code>import time<br \/>\nimport pyautogui as pag<br \/>\n#Below code will open the calculator.<br \/>\npag.press(\"winleft\", _pause=True) #will trigger left window key to open the start menu<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.typewrite(\"calculator\",interval=0.2) # it will type calculator in the search.<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"enter\") # it will trigger the enter key to open the calculator.<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\n#Below code will perform add operation on the calculator.<br \/>\npag.press(\"2\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"+\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"5\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"+\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"9\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"enter\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"esc\")<br \/>\n#Below code will perform subtraction operation on the calculator.<br \/>\npag.press(\"9\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"-\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"2\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"-\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"6\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"enter\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"esc\")<br \/>\n#Below code will perform a multiplication operation on the calculator.<br \/>\npag.press(\"2\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"*\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"2\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"*\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"6\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<br \/>\npag.press(\"enter\")<br \/>\ntime.sleep(0.5)<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Now run the code by running the following command in the terminal.<\/p>\n<p><code>python path-to-the-file\/test.py<\/code><\/p>\n<p>After running the above command, your calculator is opened automatically and all operations are performed by <a href=\"https:\/\/studysection.com\/blog\/multithreading-in-python\/\">python<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/studysection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/linux-gif.gif\" alt=\"Automate Calculator\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It was a simple tutorial to automate the calculator.
