Renegade343 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So, a year ago, I promised someone that I would be using MATLAB for Warframe and Math threads (along with other things). However, since MATLAB costs a lot, I swapped to a free alternative: Octave. Reviews say that it is similar in operation and efficiency to MATLAB, and its code is also similar to MATLAB. So, once I get acquainted with Octave (a month or two), be prepared to see it coming up for future Warframe and Math threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxriot Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 hey i do have matlab and i do enjoy coding on it... (i once made codes to solve any problem given to us in a uni course). So what do u plan to have matlab do in relation to warframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-FV-Metheria Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Technically wouldn't you still be failing on the promise since you're using a alternate program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Technically wouldn't you still be failing on the promise since you're using a alternate program? Nope, because Octave has almost the exact same coding as MATLAB. That means what you code in Octave can be transferred over to MATLAB with a few tweaks.

Renegade343 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 That seems like cheating. Everything's free to the end user with Octave. MATLAB requires payment to use the full software, and from its own help desk/forums, it also seems to require payment for major updates. I am not going to shell out that much money for a (admittedly excellent) program. Consider Octave as MATLAB's identical twin. Everything looks the same, codes the same, executes the same for all practical purposes, apart from computing time, in which MATLAB seems to win in that part. However, Octave is slightly laxer on coding, which might go both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
