Index \ Processing \ BasicX \ C

The Wiring environment is written in C/C++ and the Processing environment is written in Java so there are many similarities between these two languages. Large distinctions occur with arrays declaration, loops syntax and the printing command. Wiring is used to create programs that run in the Wiring hardware. Processing is used to create programs that run on a PC.
