Check the example videos that come with MATLAB.
I have also provided links to videos you can look to create simple basic GUIs at the end of this post.
The code in purple is autogenerated by guide in MATLAB.
I have written the code that is in black.
Check this link to understand better after the example videos in MATLAB documentation.

My calculator looks like this
function varargout = myCalculator(varargin)
% MYCALCULATOR MATLAB code for myCalculator.fig
% MYCALCULATOR, by itself, creates a new MYCALCULATOR or raises the existing
% singleton*.
%
% H = MYCALCULATOR returns the handle to a new MYCALCULATOR or the handle to
% the existing singleton*.
%
% MYCALCULATOR('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
% function named CALLBACK in MYCALCULATOR.M with the given input arguments.
%
% MYCALCULATOR('Property','Value',...) creates a new MYCALCULATOR or raises the
% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are
% applied to the GUI before myCalculator_OpeningFcn gets called. An
% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
% stop. All inputs are passed to myCalculator_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one
% instance to run (singleton)".
