Are you just trying to print certain characters and newlines to the screen, or are you actually wanting it to be a interactive GUI?
If the only thing you're updating is the number displayed, you'd cout << '|', then you'd have to know what precision you want to set the decimal place at, cout the calculated number, and then cout another |.
You'd also have to print everything else out again every time you update the number displayed on the calculator, but this should be the easy part.
