Thanks, Annu. Do you have any libraries, tools in your mind which we can use? I hope you have used the Desmos Graph calculator where they have done this neatly. https://www.desmos.com/calculator. Do check it out if you haven't already. It gives an idea of a nice user experience for this feature.

Above is the code for the textbox component where you'll be required to make the changes. Do feel free to create new files if you think it will make the code better.

Were you able to set up the local dev environment?

Also, think about the test cases while writing the code.

Thanks

I am a beginner to the react world. So first I thought of spending some time understanding the entire codebase before getting started with the specificity of this issue

I have heard that wolfram alpha has a similar functionality for writing mathematical expression in a textbox. (I haven't used to personally)

@annu12340 We can carry out the discussion regarding this issue here. @Anu-Asok can also help you as he has also done some research previously to solve this issue.
