2. Implementing Arithmetic Functions

To make our calculator functional, we need to define the arithmetic operations. We'll create separate functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

def add(x, y):    return x + y def subtract(x, y):    return x - y def multiply(x, y):    return x * y def divide(x, y):    if y == 0:        return "Undefined (division by zero)"    return x / y

These functions are quite straightforward. For division, we've added a condition to handle division by zero, ensuring our calculator doesn't crash or produce invalid results in such cases.
