Computer Modeling

Abstract

Sometimes computer modeling of the behavior of complicated stochastic systems is the only way to investigate them. This chapter is for the readers who like not only formulas but also algorithms. Programming is merely a process of recording a strictly fixed sequence of actions in restricted and formalized English. This sequence can be executed by a human, a computer or an alien. Any program could be easily translated into a human language, however the result will take more space and it can be easily misunderstood because of the ambiguousness of the natural language. This chapter is not meant to teach the reader C++ programming; any manual would serve this purpose much better. At the same time we will discuss some features of C++, which will help to understand how the code works in the examples.
