📌 Task 2 – Basic Calculator 🔢

📋 Project Title: Simple Arithmetic Calculator using Python

🧠 Description:

This project is a simple command-line calculator that allows users to perform basic arithmetic operations like:

➕ Addition

➖ Subtraction

✖️ Multiplication

➗ Division

The user is prompted to enter two numbers and choose the type of operation. The calculator then performs the selected operation and displays the result.

💡 Features:

✅ User-friendly input system

✅ Handles four basic operations

✅ Checks for division by zero

✅ Displays clear output messages

✅ Beginner-friendly Python code structure

🚀 How It Works:

The user enters the first number.

The user enters the second number.

The user selects an operation (1 to 4).

The calculator performs the operation and shows the result.

If the user divides by zero, it shows an error message.
