Question

This programming language includes easter eggs such as producing a dog’s face when running the function “spy” with no argument. Fourth- and fifth-order methods are compared using this language’s built-in “ode45” (“O-D-E-four-five”) solver, (-5[1])which can be sped up for large use-cases with this language’s built-in Parallel Computing Toolbox. GNU Octave is a free, open-source (10[1])alternative to (-5[1])this (10[1])language, which uses a semicolon to suppress output. (10[1])Executable code can be combined with formatted text and images in this language’s “live script” mode. A graphical (10[1])environment used for controller (10[3])modeling within this language is called Simulink. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])MathWorks (10[1])develops (-5[1])what engineering (10[1])programming language, which is used for its ease of (10[3])manipulating matrices? ■END■ (10[1])
