| I think other than matlab, "C" is the best language

my friend told me that C++ is good enough for the communication system simulation......do any body have material on this topic.....

Hi,
I agree that C/C++ in addition to Matlab are powerful
also Lab VIEW is very good Engineering oriented programming language.
good Luck

If person donot know anything about it. How could he start from bottom level. Can you suggest anybook and web site for begineer.Is it possible to learn C++ without knowin anything c.
Thnx in advance

| Simple simulations may be constructed from scripting languages, or C. To write fast, original simulators will need at least C. As my_books suggested, assembly is not easy, or even popular, but it really works.

Well, yes, but that is the problem for all working engineers, and with answering general questions. There are as many programming languages as there are ideas of the best way to programme.
One may not be given the choice. If your employer uses Matlab, then you will need to learn it.
Sometimes I use Labview to control instruments, but I also use Autohotkey. It depends upon time and opportunity, as much as which is better.
To answer the original inquiry, it is better to start with a language that is available to you and DO IT, rather than worry about the actual language. Skills learned will be transferable.

| i did not use c or c++ in my project, because i am a beginning learner.but i used the HDL,i think it is better for a electronic engine.and also it is not the best.i am looking for it and today get some useful information .

| When it comes to microcontrollers at least some knowledge of their assembly language is needed. Sometimes it is necessary to change something in startup files which are written mainly in assembly language. Anyway C/C++ is the best language in my opinion to write software for microcontrollers.

Hello,
I think the best open source languages that can help an EE is Python. I do a lot of stuff using that.
Its free and has lots of support. Additionaly it is an interpreted language and has very simple syntax.
I have already made a boot loader for my AVR micros using it.

| It seems python is not very popular to use with microcontrollers. If it's interpreted language it can make software work slowly.

Before you use C, C##, C++, C--, Java, Delphi, Python or grass snake - whatever.
I think that "English" is the best language for programming. 
Then it is whatever language does the task in hand best, AFAIK different languages are used for different applications & platforms so you need to know more than one over your programming life.
Consider your current task & ask what language will suit that better.

Some microcontrollers were especially designed for assembly language such as 8051, PIC12xxx, PIC16xx, PIC17xxx. In my opinion PIC microcontrollers have very "dull" architecture. I spent plenty of time to remove all the errors from my programs. However, they're popular.
Although there are C compilers created for the mentioned chips but compiled code is large and slow and take up many microcontroller resources. I think such chips as MSP430, ARMs and AVRs are the best suited for high level languages.
I know some people who are assembly language fanatics and they are very reluctant to switch to C/C++ for example and they spent a lot of time to write their software.

| Maybe there is not the best language, just as for our native speaking languages. I mainly use FORTRAN to simulate electromagneics problems, IT is very convinence to program with complex numbers.

| Some programming environments have simulation functions that allows you to watch data sending through communication interfaces which are present in many microcontrollers. However, simulating any hardware is a bad idea. The simulated object may work nice in simulator but in practice you usually encounter some problems. The simulator shows you if your software works correctly but if there is failure in your electrical circuit it will not detect it. In such a situation one usually thinks there is a bug in software nad searches for it. To run communciation interfaces and write software for it an oscilloscope is needed.

C once again becouse:
- it's universal 40 ore more platforms that can manage with C applications
- open source tools like DevCpp
- it's easier to migrate to C++ and them maby study writing in .NET
- most producers gives C examples for microcontrollers
You can use C in Simulink from Matlab as an M-File and build own block's.
