Unit tests

Class TestCalculator

Class TestCalculator contains unit tests for the Calculator class.

These tests verify the functionality of the calculator's basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) for various inputs, including:

• Positive and negative numbers
• Mixed combinations of positive and negative numbers
• Zero values
• Limit cases with very large or very small numbers The tests also ensure that division by zero raises a CalculatorError.
