The delightful conciseness of Julia

[PetrKryslUCSD]

The code does the same thing: Integrate the conductivity matrix and the heat load.
The deal.ii code on the right is in C++. The Julia is I think easier to read, and, at least in my test, it runs (slightly) faster.

EDIT: Second measurement: deal.ii code is ~6% faster. Not sure why the first measurement indicated the opposite. Sorry about the misinformation.

EDIT 2: To satisfy a request for references: GitHub - PetrKryslUCSD/Elfel.jl: Extensible library for finite element programming (examples/heat/heat_poisson_q4.jl), http://dealii.org/ (step 3).

EDIT: Third measurement on a laptop with no load other than the calculation: codes run at the same speed.

PSA: how to quote code with backticks

This is a short post on using backticks (` and ```) to quote code, with the intention of benefiting users who are confused by this feature of the site. The intention is to make it linkable when necessary. Why By quoting your code, you get a monospaced font (which preserves indentation) and syntax highlighting. This helps people who read your code and want to help you. Displayed code looks like this: function displayed_code(x::Int, y::Int) if x < y println("x is smaller") else …

You’re right, one has to click to enlarge the images to read the code. But even when one looks at the code from afar, when the code can no longer be read, I believe my point can be made.
