In something I believe is called microcode. I took a course in college a LONG time ago, and we had to code a small microprocessor in "Machine language". A generic "Hardware Programming Language" was taught in this course. It is MUCH simpler than C++ or FORTRAN, and mostly consists of commands like "shift left" and "shift right" and "add one", "and" and "or". Most mathematical functions are performed using these kinds of operations plus table-lookup logarithms. For example, when you click "3*2" on a calculator, and want to multiply 3 by 2, the claculator is really taking the representation of three (11 in binary) and shifting it left to do the multiplication by 2 (110 is 6). It's not really this simple but it's the idea.

some of the programming is in the layout of the chips that are on the circuit boards the rest is done before the plastic case is added. for + - * / some calculators like the ti85 can have additional applications added right up to the user level.

I think like they have a memory board and they are programed the do what you told it to. As long as you don't get a calcualater that is smarter than you...

simple ..da nerds @ da lab work out every possible math they can do within the givin deadline..after that they do thier magic and tadaaaaaaaaaaaa..
thats y sum calculators are betta than others.. the boffins worked out more problems SIMPLE.!
plzz give me the best answer pweez

In what programming language? More importantly though, do your own homework!

calculaters have a memory which contain all inbuilt functions...so when u perform some calculation it responds to it...
