prompter: Can you write code for a basic calculator with an interface?
assistant: Yes, I can help you write a basic calculator program with a graphical user interface using Python's built-in tkinter library. Here's an example code that you can use:
``` 
import tkinter as tk

class Calculator:
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        master.title("Basic Calculator")

        # Entry widget to display calculations
        self.display = tk.Entry(master, width=40, borderwidth=5)
        self.display.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=4, padx=10, pady=10)

        # Buttons for numbers
        self.button_1 = tk.Button(master, text="1", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(1))
        self.button_2 = tk.Button(master, text="2", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(2))
        self.button_3 = tk.Button(master, text="3", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(3))
        self.button_4 = tk.Button(master, text="4", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(4))
        self.button_5 = tk.Button(master, text="5", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(5))
        self.button_6 = tk.Button(master, text="6", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(6))
        self.button_7 = tk.Button(master, text="7", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(7))
        self.button_8 = tk.Button(master, text="8", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(8))
        self.button_9 = tk.Button(master, text="9", padx=40, pady=20, command=lambda: self.button_click(9))
