How to find a button source in AWT (calculator homework)

I would tend to have each button for the numbers, as well as each button for operands, add text to a text field that is the ‘Input/Output’.

Also have a button = (equals). When the = button is activated, call the ScriptEngine to evaluate the content of the I/O text field and write the result back to it.

E.G.

Calculet input = Calculet output
