Back when we were doing quadratic equations; I wrote a program on my TI-84 that would ask which parts of the equation you already had, and would fill in the rest for you.
My teacher liked it so much he bought a transfer cable for those calculators so he could get a copy for himself. Then used to to grade tests.
Oh I would have been so pissed. I was programming on my calculator 24/7 instead of my classes.
I wrote a sudoku “editor”
I put that in quotes because I had a grid that could be navigated, arrows moved, storing the numbers, had number entry down, and then I learned the hard way what p vs np is.

I could never remember the formula to calculate compound interest.
But I had no trouble writing a for loop.
I did the same thing. It was allowed in general, with the correct thought, “if you can code it yourself, you know the content”
I had another “program” that would fail to run but that’s because I wrote notes into it. Doubt that was allowed.
Here in NZ they do a factory reset on your calculator at the start of every exam.

I did that but made it return success before it got to the notes. You had to scroll to get to the notes, but it looked innocuous before that.
So you didn’t get the transfer cable with your calculator? Smells fishy
you can code directly on the device, it’s just a PAIN to do compared to moving the files over
Issued by the school; I never owned it.
