How to enter two digits from same textfield in AWT/SWING

Question

I have created a Simple calculator in which I take inputs of two operands in two different textfields, and it is working good. But I need to take two inputs from same textfield. What changes should I make?

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

Answer 1

Just get the value from the two textbox and perform all the calculation addition,multiplication,subtraction,divide and store in different variable and the set that variable in textbox you cant directly perform the action in textbox.ex below

String val1=textbox1.gettext();
String val2=textbox2.gettext();
int addition=Integer.ParseInt(val1)+Integer.ParseInt(val2);
textbox3.settext(addition.toString());

Answer 2

Would this be something like what you're looking for? I did a quick version for you.

Simply put, I store the last operator ( + , - , * , / ) in a String variable ( lastAction ), the total as an int . When "equals" is pressed, I work out the total and reset the total variable and lastAction . When an operator is pressed, I change the total but keep the last value in a variable.
