This is a language with different levels. The compilation methods and languages of the two are different.

The difference is:

(1) Their language level is different. Matlab is the 4th generation language, which belongs to advanced language, and C language is the 3rd generation intermediate language.

(2) They have different uses. Matlab is a scripting language, mainly used for scientific calculation of mathematical calculation, a commercial mathematical software, a numerical calculation environment and a programming language, while C language is a process-oriented programming language, mainly used for programming the underlying hardware or operating system, and is a general and procedural programming language, which is widely used in the development of systems and application software.

(3) Their linguistic features are different. C language has the characteristics of high efficiency, flexibility, rich functions, strong expressive force and high portability, while Matlab itself is based on matrix operation, and there is no room for growth. Some plug-ins can generate C language through MATLAB code.

It doesn't matter whether you can speak English or not, as long as you are willing to spend time memorizing some commonly used words.

Extended data:

MATLAB is matrix &；; The combination of the word laboratory means matrix laboratory.

It is a high-tech computing environment released by mathworks Company in the United States, which is mainly oriented to scientific computing, visualization and interactive programming. It integrates many powerful functions such as numerical analysis, matrix calculation, scientific data visualization, nonlinear dynamic system modeling and simulation in an easy-to-use window environment.

It provides a comprehensive solution for scientific research, engineering design and many scientific fields that need effective numerical calculation. To a great extent, it gets rid of the editing mode of traditional non-interactive programming languages (such as C and Fortran) and represents the advanced level of international scientific computing software.

The basic data unit of MATLAB is matrix, and its instruction expression is very similar to that commonly used in mathematics and engineering.

Therefore, it is much simpler to solve problems with MATLAB than to do the same thing with C, FORTRAN and other languages, and MATLAB also absorbs the advantages of Maple and other software, making MATLAB a powerful mathematical software.

Support for C, FORTRAN, C++ and JAVA has also been added in the new version.
