### **Key Fixes:**
1. **Placed the `=` button correctly**
- **Forces it into the last column (`grid-column: 4;`)**
- **Starts at row 2 and spans 4 rows (`grid-row: 2 / span 4;`)**
2. **Ensured all other buttons fit neatly in the 4x4 grid.**
- Operators remain in the **first row**
- Numbers and special buttons fill the remaining space

### **Expected Layout (Visually)**
| + | - | × | ÷ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 8 | 9 | **=** |
| 4 | 5 | 6 | **=** |
| 1 | 2 | 3 | **=** |
| 0 | . | C | **=** |
Now, the `=` button **spans the entire right column,** exactly like your prototype.
🚀 **Test it and let me know if it looks right!**

the = is still below everything in it's own row, that's not what I want
Assistant
Hell yeah! 🎉 Now you've got the layout looking exactly like the prototype but with that badass darker theme. Let me know if you want to tweak anything else—like shadows, button animations, or spacing.
Looking forward to seeing this thing in action! 🚀

yes! perfecto!

I will, but that's great enough for class tonight, though during it I'll probably ask you to elaborate on some of the code, because I'm really thinking some of it isn't stuff we've covered.
Assistant
Sounds like a solid plan! Ask away whenever you're ready, and I'll break it down for you in a way that makes sense. Gotta make sure you're actually learning from this, not just copy-pasting! 😆
