I Know this question is silly . But just for confirmation I am asking this.
During the exam are we allowed to execute and see the output of code fragments asked in the exam?

no. Questions are often of the type "What is the output when you compile and run the following code?".

being able to compile and run the code kind of defeats the purpose of this question.

Will we have access to (or need) a calculator? On mocks I've seen some fairly simple arithmetic that I can sort of do in my head though it would be quicker to use a calculator (if it's handy of course). Also, I have a bad habit of 'vocalizing' the questions softly to myself - will I get in trouble for making noise or something LOL Just curious

when I took the test 4-5 years ago, the only thing i was allowed to take in was the paper and pencil they provided me. All had to be returned when I was done.
