""Candidates will be allowed to use battery operated portable calculator in Exam. The
calculator can be of any type with upto 6 functions, 12 digits and upto two memories.
Attempt to use any other type of calculator not complying with the specifications
indicated above or having more features than mentioned above shall tantamount to
use of unfair means. Scientific calculator is not allowed.""

Programmable calculators allow the user to write and store programs in the calculator in order to solve difficult problems or automate an elaborate procedure.
Programming capability appears most commonly (although not exclusively) in graphing calculators, as the larger screen allows multiple lines of source code to be viewed simultaneously (i.e., without having to scroll to the next/previous display line). Originally, calculator programming had to be done in the calculator's own command language, but as calculator hackers discovered ways to bypass the main interface of the calculators and write assembly language programs, calculator companies (particularly Texas Instruments) began to support native-mode programming on their calculator hardware, first revealing the hooks used to enable such code to operate, and later explicitly building in facilities to handle such programs directly from the user interface.
