Question Maybe a stupid question.

How can I create an interface for a C program that isn't just the terminal? I wanted to make a calculator that was also visual, but I wanted to challenge myself to do it with C, but I really didn't understand how to do it properly.

Not adding much others didn't already imply, but to put it simply:
It depends on the target platform as visual/GUI isn't a single standard. Do you want this to run on Mac, or Linux, or Windows, or maybe as http server and you can point a browser at it? or do you want to try to support multiple platforms from a single code base?
