That is my summer job... I have about had it.

This person cannot code for crap and none of the people working on it have any coding experience except for me, and I have no idea what he is trying to do, not to mention this is the worst language ever.

This whole software being written also does not even make any sense to me outside of programming (research for a major corporation)... and we are dealing with fairly complicated math. All of the other people working on this project are getting their PhD in a subject I have never studied - to say the least, their is a lot of miscommunication.

I wan't to quit, but I only have to work till the 24th... or whenever I can get this damn project done (which I cannot read alien code, so I dont think it is going to get done)

what language?

MATLAB:|:|:|

This corporation chose it for some retarded reason... I refuse to say which corp it is, but many of the ATOT'ers hate it.

You should add some code to put the extra fractions of the pennies from the computations into an external bank account.

MATLAB, in all honesty, is for engineers who are too lazy to write in Fortran (if you don't know, MATLAB's command line is essentially Fortran with a massive library).

I feel for you. I hate MATLAB with a passion. Of course, I'm writing my entire FE program in FORTRAN because of legacy code (i would prefer C++.... of course, I've found that Fortran90 isn't too bad).

Anyways... you have my sympathy.

that peroson cant code for crap and got paid tons more than you, life sucks dont it!

i have had to deal someone elses code before where i say to myself...how in the hell did this idiot get hired...then i remember how usual soem mangers are and how kiss ass soem people can be...

I am glad that someone else agrees with me. I feel most comfortable with Java to be honest, and C++ of course is just fine too. I think we could have accomplished this project a lot easier with either of those languages... but the corporation was worried that the languages would go away and that there would be no one to update the program with new features.

It doesn't make much sense... because they are paying essentially nothing to have grad students work on it.

Personally, I like matlab. As an engineering student is has been a very helpful piece of software. I dont really have much programming background outside of matlab (except for a tiny amount of C++) but matlab has made several projects much easier. But knowing what little i do about C++ I can understand how matlab can be confusing if you dont use it a lot. But for me...being an aerospace major...there is actually a blockset of aerospace tools which has made a lot of stuff go much more smoothly...just my 2cents.

Like everything Matlab has its purpose. Though I don't enjoy using it. It can serve a good purpose especially with prototyping algorithms.

As for myself i prefer C with Fortran optimized math functions. But thats just me. And I don't see C and Fortran disappearing ever. As long
as there is engineers there will be C and Fortran.
