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, (10[1])which (10[1])can be sped up for large use-cases with this language’s built-in Parallel Computing Toolbox. GNU Octave (10[1])is a free, open-source alternative (-5[1])to this language, (10[1])which uses a semicolon to suppress output. (-5[1])Executable code (-5[2])can be combined with formatted text and images in this language’s “live script” mode. A graphical environment used for controller modeling within this language is called Simulink. For 10 points, MathWorks develops what engineering programming language, which is used for its ease of manipulating matrices? (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: MATLAB [accept MATrix LABoratory; accept GNU Octave until read]
