Which is better for data analysis: MatLab or Visual Basic?

AI Thread Summary
When choosing between MATLAB and Visual Basic for data analysis of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data, MATLAB is often considered the superior option. It offers specialized toolboxes designed for data analysis, along with robust support for matrix operations, making it particularly well-suited for handling complex data sets. For someone with a background in C++, transitioning to MATLAB programming is generally straightforward, allowing for efficient implementation of data analysis tasks.

Hey there. I've this question in mind whether to pick between MatLab of Visual Basic to write my program for data analysis for Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) in the ground system. May i know which is better and why? I learned c++ before only and currently trying to venture into the other two...thanks in advance:)

I have not worked with IMU data analysis. But I would say that Matlab is the best choice.
There are special toolboxes for data analysis and the support for matrices and operations on them is excellent. If you know C++ I would say that learning Matlab programming is rather easy.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
