Learning algorithmic thinking with Python*

Python is attracting attention in the field of education as a learning tool that cultivates algorithmic thinking and has been adopted for use in textbooks.

*Python is a registered trademark of the Python Software Foundation.
Python mode supports a version of MicroPython Version 1.9.4, which has been adapted to run on this calculator. Please note that MicroPython is different from the Python that runs on a computer.

Reproduce textbook content on a calculator!

Example

Try to program in Python and explore by inserting various values.

3. Examination Mode

This mode allows you to quickly prepare your calculator for exams. This mode restricts access to memory, programs, functions, and applications, so that these features would not be available during exams.

Effective for Examinations in school

4. Reset1

Reset1 is the function that deletes all data of Main Memory and Storage Memory except several Add-ins as follows.

The following Add-ins are not deleted when Reset1 function is executed.

  • 3D Graph (3DGraph.g3a) v1.02 or later
  • Geometry (Geometry.g3a) v1.05 or later
  • Physium (Physium.g3a) v1.05 or later
  • Picture Plot (PictPlot.g3a) v1.03 or later
  • Conversion (Conv.g3a) v1.00 or later
  • Probability Simulation (ProbSim.g3a) v1.02 or later

All other Add-ins except above are deleted when Reset1 function is executed.

Please install the latest version of Add-in software from our website if you do not want to delete Add-ins with the version older than above.

“Add-ins deleted by Reset1 are Installed.” is displayed on graphing calculators in case of the following situation.

For fx-CG50/CG20 Series

(a) Including Add-ins deleted by Reset1 when data communication of Storage Memory is finished.
(b) Including Add-ins deleted by Reset1 when data communication between graphing calculators is executed.
(c) Including Add-ins deleted by Reset1 when completing initial setting.

For fx-CG Manager PLUS Subscription

(d) Including Add-ins deleted by Reset1 when the fx-CG Manager is initialized after version upgrade.
(e) Including Add-ins deleted by Reset1 when the Memory mode [Import] is finished.
