Hey Andres,
Great job! 👏
I have an awesome idea to make things more fun and user-friendly. 🤗
Let's add a feature that lets users do calculations using their keyboard. 💻🖱️
Here's how to do it:
-
In your HTML code, for each button, add a data-key attribute with the corresponding keyboard key name (e.g., "1" for number keys, "Backspace" for the delete key).
-
Now, in your JavaScript, add an event listener like this:
// Listen for keyboard input
addEventListener("keydown", (event) => handleKeyboardInput(event))
- You can choose any name for the function; let's call it handleKeyboardInput. Here's the function with comments to explain:
// Function to handle keyboard input
function handleKeyboardInput(event) {
// Find the button with the data-key attribute matching the pressed key
const button = document.querySelector(`[data-key="${event.key}"]`);
// If the button exists, trigger a click event on it
if (button) {
button.click();
}
}
That's it! 🚀 Happy coding, and enjoy the improved functionality! If you have questions or need more help, feel free to ask. 😊💻🌟

Hey @Ayoubrabiae thanks for your idea. I already started with that, but I haven't submitted it yet since I uploaded the solution today at 5 a.m so that smoothie of brain that I got since I went to bed is still figuring out how to end the awesome idea it started a couple of hours ago. Thanks anyway, it's kind of you to take the time to make a guide for me.
