Neutral State (entering keys, etc)

Inspiration
I never built a calculator from scratch so I just decided to try it
What it does
It performs addition, subtraction, division and multiplication if the expression entered is correct, otherwise it displays an error message
How we built it
I built it using ReactJS (which is way overkill for something of this scale, but I just wanted to make it work first)
Challenges we ran into
Dealing with wrong inputs was the biggest issue but that was solved.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I mean this is a very simple project, I've done more complicated things.
What we learned
How to make a calculator, and got better at state management and useEffect hooks in react
What's next for Calculator Project
Maybe a scientific calculator or a graph calculator when I have time
