I did this.

Oddly enough in a computer science class we had an old professor. He accused me of cheating. He was right. However, he physically inspected my calculator like under the cover and where batteries are lol but did not check the programs. He apologized. I did well on the test.

I'm having trouble figuring out what type of material in Computer Science would require a calculator.

It was weird. It was a course that had some assembly language and I'm pretty sure he wanted us to do some calculations. We were writing the code on paper, therefore, he allowed calculators.

I had a problem on a test that asked to track a somewhat convoluted series of recursive calls. Being lazy, I reimplemented it in TI-BASIC and just ran it…

Base conversions maybe for an entry level course
