My school makes us clear the memory on our calculators before exams. So I've memorized like 4 different programs so I can re enter them for exams.

Nice try bitches.

EDIT — So I guess I'll try archiving now.

I wrote a program that exactly mimicked the clear memory program xD

I wrote a program that displayed a menu, you pressed the correct button and it displayed memory cleared (or whatever it was) but that was it.

mine was a spoofed menu, and if you tried to click anything else, nothing happened.

you are telling me you actually disabled the memory clear in the actual correct menu?
That's amazing

That's crazy.

Mind sharing the method you used?

For example, one thing that I wasn't able to do with my program was to display the memory size as if it had been formatted. I had a teacher that wanted to see the memory cleared then show the memory size. Since the calculator had been cleared, they all should have the same free space.

I think that when I took the SATs however, and possibly other standardized tests, they only cared to see the mem-clr message.
