| ikat_knows's Full Review: Casio CFX 9850G Graphic Calculator |
During exams, this calculator worked wonders! Information could be taken into the exams using this little piece of technology and used to cheat, even if the calculators were checked before hand. That is because of the amazing programming capabilities it carries.
This calculator can store up to 32 kb. It can be programmed to perform huge, complicated mathematical equations, draw graphs and pictures, interact with the user, play games, and even let an examiner think the memory has been cleared! Yes, that's right! It can be programmed to imitate the whole memory clearing procedure. Right down to having a full functional menu screen with all the icons! It took a while, but I pulled it off.
I even programmed a game into it. The game was a shooting game with upgradable weaponry, cheat codes and a few different levels, thought I can't recall how many.
I downloaded a game off the internet called Super Mario Brothers. Yes, the same Super Mario you play on the old Nintendo. It was very slow, but it was good.
This calculator has many graphical functions, from drawing the graph to giving you values to the nth degree. It has differentiation, anti-diff and many, many more features. It performs simultaneous equations, imaginary number equations, long/short equations and hopelessly too difficult to work out equations.
This is truly a magnificent machine. Don't under-estimate the power of Casio. The are sure the leaders in powerful calculators.
