<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello everyone.<br><br>Scilab, Matlab, Octave and others softwares of this kind uses an interpreter not a compiler. Is there any specific rason to do it? I don't know deeply the technical details about interpreters and compilers but i've become curious about it. In long interative process a compiled code runs much more faster because in a interpreter to each interation the language commands should be converted to machine language and in a compiled one it happens only one time when the object code is generated. Was told me that in a interpreter debug is more easy. So why those everyoments chose do numerical process by an interpreted language?<br></td></tr></table><br>
