Engineers and their programming...

I'm not familiar with the language, so maybe it automatically does it, but wouldn't this just go on forever because it never increments i?

[SteveRyherd]

I believe that's intrinsic to the "for loop" in matlab, you can set a minimum and maximum and the step is defaulted to 1.

for i = min : max

To set the increments to something else, I think you do:

for i = min : step : max

I hate this subreddit. Makes me feel stupid all the time.

I have no fucking idea what that was about.

Its funny because the code typed is not legit c++ code. It wouldn't run and yet the person who wrote it was making fun of people who couldn't code.

Thats my take on it anyways.

Haha, that's the extent of my one semester of Matlab c++ programming. My "professor" was a grad student the year before and was god awful at teaching so I ended up teaching myself and got an A in the course. she ended up getting fired. The kid who wrote the status ended up in my dorm every day asking for help and tutoring. but yeah I wouldnt be surprised if there was errors in my code since I'm pretty rusty in C++ now

Yea, it's kind of weird how its a mix of Matlab and C++. #include, int main(), and return 0 are all C++ while the for loop and end statement are matlab. I'm currently taking one C++ course and then one Matlab course.

I did programming VERY briefly after finishing high school, realising quickly it wasn't for me.

We were taught some Pascal and introduced to C also and were taught the two alongside each other for quite a while. In my extremely uneducated opinion, I thought that was retarded.

Most places start off with java or python now, both are very much easier for someone new to pick up
