+# 12.6 Advanced Calculator
+
+## The task
+Create a calculator. That will be able to take user input of an math operation and perform it.
+
+But it would be a little advanced from other python calculator projects those you usually see. 
+
+It will take the calculation directly from the user and then perform it, without asking user to choose operation type( addition, multiplication etc.). 
+
+## Solution strategy
+Create a bunch of functions to perform add, subtract, multiply, division or modulo. 
+
+Then take the calculation from the user. 
+
+As the calculator can perform only two number's calculations, you can use the built in ``split()`` method to make the input a list containing three elements.
+
+The input list's first element would be the first number, second element the operator( +,*,/,-,%) and last one the second number.
+
+Then put the numbers in separate variables and call the appropriate function based on the operator.
+
+> The `split()` method is a built in function in python, which splits a string into a list where the string has a space.
+> Exmp: split("2 + 3") will return ["2","+","3"] as result.
+
+Think for a few minutes and try it yourself first.
+
+## The solution
+```python
+def add(num1, num2):
+ return num1 + num2
+
+def subtract(num1, num2):
+ return num1 - num2
+
+def multiply(num1, num2):
+ return num1 * num2
+
+def divide(num1, num2):
+ return num1 / num2
+
+def modulo(num1, num2):
+ return num1 % num2
+
+# Inform user that each element in the input should be separated by space.
+print("Give space among the numbers and operator, like: 24 - 5 ")
+
+# Take input from the user
+calc = input("Enter your calculation: ")
+calclist = calc.split()
+num1 = int(calclist[0])
+operation = calclist[1]
+num2 = int(calclist[2])
+
+
+result = 0
+if operation == '+':
+ result = add(num1,num2)
+elif operation == '-':
+ result = subtract(num1,num2)
+elif operation == '*':
+ result = multiply(num1,num2)
+elif operation == '/':
+ result = divide(num1,num2)
+elif operation == '%':
+ result = modulo(num1,num2)
+else:
+ print("Please enter: +, -, *, / or %")
+
+print(num1, operation, num2, '=', result)
+```

+
+## How it works
+You saw five functions to add, subtracts, etc. Those are easy.
+
+Then we are taking user input. Then using `split()` we are splitting that and getting two numbers and the operator.
+
+Then we have if-elif-else, based on the operation, we call the right method to perform the task.
+
+That’s it.
