Description: Five short essays compare C (and C++ by extension) to Fortran: Why C is Not a Good Numerical Language, Why C is Not a Good First Language, C's Poor Loop Constructs, C's Pointers and Optimisation, Optimisation through Directives.
Why C is not a good numerical language The religious war between C and FORTRAN lovers is an old one, and those of us supporting FORTRAN are often accused of living in an era somewhere between the 1960's and the age of the dinosaurs. Although I do write code in both C and FORTRAN, and even write numerical code in C, this page highlights some of the issues of which good C programmers should be aware.
