Using a MATLAB code on Scilab

Is it possible to use a MATLAB code on Scilab? Is that what is meant when saying that Scilab is a "clone" from MATLAB?

Solution

  • I would not bet on it. But if your code is simple enough chances are good.

    Problems are:

    • There is encrypted p-code in Matlab that Scilab will not be able to open.

    • Matlab usually comes with a number of toolboxes that might not be available to you (i think especially Simulink)

    • last but not least (i don't know about scilab) there usually are minute differences in how functions are implemented.
