I use to write programs in HS for these things that helped me during math tests.
- biggc 12y agoChances are, if you were able to program the algorithms required to solve the problems, you understood them well enough or more than enough to pass the course.
- syncsynchalt 12y agoYes but you can copy a program more easily than you can "copy" the knowledge behind it. What happens when one kid writes a quadratic solver and gives it to half the class?
- Crito 12y agoDefinitely not the case for me. I had as many books and websites as I needed while creating those programs, but did not have them available during tests.
- ssharp 12y agoI would occasionally bury stuff in programs that shouldn't have been there. I was afraid that the teacher might look at my programs and if there was a functional program, would realize what I was doing, so I'd usually have a code language that I could easily decipher but wouldn't be easily figured out by someone else. I probably gave my teachers too much credit, but the classes that could use calculators were usually taught by teachers who knew about programming the things.
- emehrkay 12y agoI am a developer today because I used to write little programs that helped me cheat in high school and college.
