MATLAB for Python programmers

Question

I\'ve used MATLAB on and off before, but I need to develop a good understanding of it now, and the language I\'m most familiar with is Python. Care to describe a MATLAB language

Answer 1

A couple of performance issues:

1. Don't use classes: MATLAB classes are really really slow.

2. Don't use for loops: Learn how to vectorize operations. MATLAB is fast at vectorized functions and exorbitantly slow when doing for loops.
