How to prevent a calculator operator from modifying the result when multiple operators are pressed in a row? JavaScript

Creating a calculator with JavaScript, however if a user were to accidentally push an operator twice in a row, it would modify the result again based on the current values of a and b. This is primarily an issue if a user were to press the equal operator after entering an operation and then push another operator to add/subtract/etc. another number.

I am wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening...the most logical thing I can think of would be if the operator button didn't modify the display or variables only when any two operator buttons are pressed twice in a row, though I have no idea how I would code that, and I would still need the operator to change the value of o.

Alternative solutions are welcome as well. FYI I am very new to programming so I may not understand complex solutions without a good amount of explanation.

JS code:

let clearBtn = document.getElementById('clearBtn');
let posNegBtn = document.getElementById('posNegBtn');

let addBtn = document.getElementById('addBtn');
let equalBtn = document.getElementById('equalBtn');
let zero = document.getElementById('zero');
let decimalBtn = document.getElementById('decimalBtn');
let one = document.getElementById('one');
let two = document.getElementById('two');
let three = document.getElementById('three');
let four = document.getElementById('four');
let five = document.getElementById('five');
let six = document.getElementById('six');
let seven = document.getElementById('seven');
let eight = document.getElementById('eight');
let nine = document.getElementById('nine');
let display = document.getElementById('display');
