#Tc1017 #SciLab<\/p>\n

SciLab is a numerical computation software which is quite handy and also easier to understand than C++ in my opinion, its graphic options are very useful as well, and the handling of matices is definitely more intuitive than in C++.<\/p>\n

Understanding SciLab:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On the console screen, we can use the arrows to change instructions and find the history of used commands, kinda like how we use the arrow keys in the compiler.<\/li>\n
  2. When using the console we have to input first –> before any command<\/li>\n
  3. Basic operations and inserting comments remain the same as in C++.<\/li>\n
  4. We can use %e, %pi and %i to represent euler’s constant, pie and complex numbers.<\/li>\n
  5. The semicolon is used to avoid any result from beign displayed, no compiling error will occur here.<\/li>\n
  6. More useful than the console screen is the editor, which is basically a word processor in which coding becomes easier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Plotting in SciLab:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Command: plot.<\/li>\n
    2. clf menas clear plot, while scf opens another window.<\/li>\n
    3. Colors can be added to curves: letter enclosed by “” –> “b” makes blue<\/li>\n
    4. Point styles work the same<\/li>\n
    5. Segments go in square brackets, point go in round ones.<\/li>\n
    6. Statistics: useful for creating bar graphs<\/li>\n
    7. Use bar command –> bar (x,n,color)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Creating functions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Begin: function<\/li>\n
      2. End: endfunction<\/li>\n
      3. Variables must always have a value, but we don\u00b4t have to declare them in advanced😀<\/li>\n
      4. Function’s parameters work the same as in C++<\/li>\n
      5. Logical operators remain the same, only != becomes <><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Matrices and vectors:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Al operations are done with matrices.<\/li>\n
        2. A space or coma separates columns.<\/li>\n
        3. Semicolons separate rows.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Loops:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Beggining:step: value –> this way is much simpler than C++<\/li>\n
          2. For and while finish with an end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
