All,
I am familiar with programming to an extent; mostly FORTRAN but am now getting into C and possibly carry into C++.
I am a structural engineer and so most applications are hard calculations toward solutions for sizing various structural elements - everything from retaining walls to small beams. Or analysis via matrix methods. I have done a lot this with spreadsheets and so this leaves me to my question.
Would someone please let me know what great benefits there are to programming in C or C++ that can't be done on spreadsheets?
I really appreciate you insight. I am a member of the eng-tips.com community.
Thanks,
