Today’s class is going to be the shortest and simplest class so far! It will not involve any technical idiom what so ever, but please don’t under rate this stage as doing so can lead you to waste vital time during your software design process.
All you will do here is to pick your paper and pencil, then sketch a beautiful interface for your app!

Keeping thing simple, I have brain stormed and came up with a simple user interface for our app! It consists of four major elements (widgets/control as they are being called in wxPython) on a window frame as follow;
From the top I placed a “Static Text Label” widget to display result of an expression. Then just below it I placed a “Text Input Box” widget to collect expression from the user. At the bottom, I placed two “Buttons” – the first-button will evaluate the given expression while the second-button will close the app’s window. See the image-12 below.
