Overview
This code snippet demonstrates how to create a simple calculator in Qt for Symbian.
Preconditions
- Install latest Qt for Symbian see Qt for Symbian - Installation packages
- Check this link for installation guide: How to install the package.
- Go through this article: Getting started with Qt for Symbian

Screenshot
- Input any value in the lineEdit.
- Decimal operation is also possible in this calculator
