D)LINGO and The Management Scientist

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, SLAM, and Arena are all simulation software programs that include features such as generating values from probability distributions, maintaining records, and summarizing results. Excel and Lotus are spreadsheet programs, while BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL, and C are programming languages that can be used for a variety of applications beyond simulation. LINGO and The Management Scientist are optimization software programs, not simulation programs.
