What are some advantages of Octave over Matlab? I do have a small personal
list, but I wonder if you can add to it:
1) Operators: ++ , -- , += , -= , *= , /=
2) Using # for comments is nice IMO.
3) I like it as a console application (e.g. starts faster, clutters my
screen less, etc).
4) I do think it's important that it is Free Software.
Personally I'd also add:
5) A very simple C++ API that allows to embed the Octave interpreter in your
own stand-alone application
(That's obviusly a "corollary" of being Free)
6) Broadcasting allows to write very clean code doing complex stuff with N-d
arrays
Does that more or less cover it, or did I miss something important?
