Hi!
I am a master student in (geo)physics at the University of Copenhagen
and part of a study group on C++ as a scientific programming language.
I, and the other students in the group, have previously used MatLab in
different courses to solve problems, and find it very easy to use.
This has led us to the discussion: When should we use C++ instead of
MatLab? When is C++ superior to MatLab - and when is it the other way
around?
The discussion goes on both the time consumption (in programming and
running the program) and capabilities of the two languages (can the one
language do something the other can't).
I guess you can say that the philosophy behind our discussion is: it
does not help to own some really good tools if you do not know the right
situation to apply them!
Please note that I have posted this is both comp.lang.c++ and
comp.soft-sys.matlab.
Thank, Lars.
