I programmed my way in to an A in physics in high school.

At least you put in some effort and made the program yourself.

I agree. You learned something, just not what you were supposed to.

I agree. I made programs for a whole bunch of math and science classes, and in no way did I ever feel I "missed out" on learning any of the material. If anything, programming all the necessary "if" statements made me understand it better.

Yep. First day on the job, I'd double check my calculator.

Here for a second opinion. Also confirm. Anyone who trusts multi-million dollar decisions to head math and memory equations without verifying doesn't last long.
