12. Read a programmer’s monologue below and answer the question. Recently, I had the opportunity to get involved in an exciting project where I programmed an interactive tool with a user-friendly interface, replicating the functionality of a traditional arithmetic device. To accomplish this, I utilized a combination of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to develop the foundation of the program. I wrote code for various functions and operators, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, enabling users to perform calculations easily. I wrote code to replicate the movement of beads along rods to represent numbers. By applying JavaScript´s event listeners and DOM manipulation, I ensured a seamless user experience, allowing users to input numbers and interact with the virtual device. The CSS styling brought visual appeal to the interface, enhancing its usability and clarity. Overall, I´m thrilled with the outcome of this project and confident that the implemented code will provide users with an engaging and intuitive o
