Matlab Coder vs hand coding?

Question

Some background for people reading this in the future (in case it\'s not locked). I tend to do my programming in a high level language to understand the problem first. After

Answer 1

If it is easier for you to write in MATLAB, then the value would greatly depend on how much you value your time.

Comparing MATLAB and C or C++ for performance is very complicated. C or C++ are going to be faster in most cases, but in some linear algebra applications it is possible that MATLAB will execute the fastest. I remember a professor that claimed he had FORTRAN applications that ran slower than the equivalent in MATLAB. There are a lot of case studies on this - I would recommend you look at the different studies comparing the speed that turn up in google and compare them to what you're doing to make your decision.
