C#, C++, Fortran...?

I'm a mechanical engineer with very very minimal programming experience, but I am looking into learning to program.





I need to write a few programs to solve complex mathematical equations but am a little confused at which one to use. I went to microsoft.com to take a look at their 'express' programs to download, but am uncertain which one to pick (if any of them).





Fortran has been suggested, but Fortran is so old. Is there anything other programs that might be more suitable with handling complex equations. I would prefer something with a tutorial attached.





C# ??, C++?, anything?

C#, C++, Fortran...?
Most of the traditional engineers I know either use Matlab or Fortran for programming. I think this is mainly because they can both do operations on vectors of numbers rather than having to write loops, which for some reason scares them. Matlab will probably be the fastest way to write your programs, and there are probably lots of tutorials available.





Scientists and physicists generally use Fortran, and they don't use it correctly, but it still works.





If you want a marketable skill, learn C and C++ rather than C#, because you can move to non-Microsoft systems pretty easily.
Reply:If you just want to solve math try Mathcad

Reply:for engineering Fortran IS likely the best choice (old or not) if you choose a C variant go with C#
Reply:Since you are an engineer, I would suggest that you use C++. It is a structured language that has been around for a long while. It will allow you to do exactly what you need with minimal extra coding. (C# is bad about fluff code). Also C++ compliers are far more availible than Fortran, but C++ is also pretty old, like i said.

Value of C that make Trinomial perfect square...Thanks you guys ROCK!?

Please show work thanks a ton!





A. x^2 + 12x +C





B. x^2 - 5x + C





C. x^2+ 3/8x + C

Value of C that make Trinomial perfect square...Thanks you guys ROCK!?
(x+b)^2 = x^2 + 2*b*x + b^2.





Now you have to choose b such that it matches your equation.





1. 2* b = 12 =%26gt; b = 6


=%26gt; b^2 = 36


So your equation becomes


x^2 +12x + 36 = (x+6)^2





Similarly you can do for 2 and 3.
Reply:A. x^2 + 12x +C





C= (b/2)²


C = (12/2)² = 36





x² + 12x + 36 = (x+6)²





B. x^2 - 5x + C


C = (-5/2)² = 25/4





x² -5x + 25/4 = (x-5/2)²





C. x^2+ 3/8x + C


C = (3/8*1/2)² = 9/256





x^2+ 3/8x + 9/256 = (x+3/16)²

Reply:If you are a resident of India, then find books "Programming in ANSI C" and "Object oriented Programming with C++" by E Balagurusamy pub by Tata McGrawhills.


The author provides all examples and good exercises.


Both are very popular and each costs you 200 RS. But they are available in most libraries.

C & c generals error, how to solve the serial port problem?

I have set up a local network without servers. The network connection is going through a 3 com switch. I have installed the c %26amp; c generals on to the network PC ( 2 pc) but still cannont play network with each other. I've encounter serial port being used.


Is there any way I can play through network without the serial port error. My networks come with a IP address which I can ping to each other.

Have you tried other games in the LAN network. If other game are working properly, check C%26amp;C LAN configuration, maybe theres some settings that you need to set up..

C%26amp;c cages for people who live in the uk?
For the GRIDS...





I got mine from Robert May http://www.robertmay.co.uk/ They deliver right to your door (anywhere in the UK).





Argos used to do them as well. Some stores might have some left over... they aren't ordering anymore in but some stores may have some left.





Kleeneze also have them. http://www.kleeneze.co.uk/





As for CORREX...





Look in your local yellow pages... look up 'sign makers'. Correx is used by them and they should be able to sell you some.
Reply:yes, you can buy the grids and connectors from B%26amp;Q,it is actually a metal cube storage unit and there are loads of grids with it to really go mad on a design and it is £23 (I have mananged a double storey one with all the grids). The correx can be bought from any sign makers shop, it is the boards they use to make for sale signs and for a large peice size 8 x 4 (feet) cost me £15, just look through your yellow pages. Below i have included two links, one is the cube unit from B%26amp;Q and item number and the other is to show you the designs of cages you can make (just incase you have not already been on the site). Happy designing!

Reply:I'm in the US..but am curiuous as to what a c%26amp;c cage is?
Reply:I think Seapets is a nationwide shop, try looking up their website to see if you can find a local one. Their products may be more expensive than the average pet supply store, but they're good quality.
