Common features of simulations--generating values from probability distributions,maintaining records,recording data and summarizing results--led to the development of
A)Excel and Lotus.
B)BASIC,FORTRAN,PASCAL,and C.
C)GPSS,S

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GPSS and S are programming languages specifically designed for simulation purposes, and therefore have built-in features for generating values from probability distributions, maintaining records, and summarizing results. Excel and Lotus are spreadsheet programs that can be used for simulations but do not have these specific features built-in. BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, and C are general-purpose programming languages that can be used for simulations, but they require additional coding for these specific features.
