C and Matlab Comparison

This document compares the syntax for variables, operators, and control flow in Fortran, Matlab, and C/C++ programming languages. It shows that Fortran uses keywords like integer, real, and logical for variable types, while Matlab and C/C++ use specific variable type names like int, float, and bool. For operators, it lists the symbols used for arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment operations. It also outlines the syntax for basic control structures like if/else statements, for loops, and while loops.
