This is not an algorithm question. I suggest announcing that any student who uses any electronic device to do anything other than take the test will fail the class. Have a TA or two sit in the back of the room and watch. Don On Feb 24, 4:04 am, Jasveen Singh jasveen.sing...@gmail.com wrote: hi

Yes, that would be a good thing to have. It's still not an algorithm question. It depends on the OS and the specific tools you are using. If it provides a full screen mode, use it. Without knowing more there's not much else we can tell you. And if someone has a smart phone or even a basic cell

It depends on the language. If is is a scripted or interpreted language then you can just change the source code. If it is a compiled language you would change the binary code where the output value is stored. I'm not saying that it is a recommended approach, but it is possible. Don On Oct 17,

Not really. Most executable formats have a way to include extra data that's not used by the loader. You could store a count in such data and have the program modify the executable every time it runs. Not recommended, though. A separate file is a much better idea. You could also play games by

the only way to do this is to store in an external space like file. if its a function that is called, a static variable can be used to track count. Question: Can extern variables span accross processes? They cannot right. I mean two forked process share the same extern variable instance?? --
