What is the difference between Optimproblem and linprog

Please help,

The below syntax creates a linear optimisation problem ?

prob = optimproblem

What is the difference of this above syntax with the linprog command below?

x = linprog(f,A,b)

Hi,

There are two ways to solve an optimization problem.

1) Problem-based

2) Solver-based

Problem-based approach involves creating an object for optimproblem. Solver-based approach uses linprog or intlinprog.

You can find the difference between problem-based and solver-based here.

Hope it helps.

thank you very much

For examples and a description of the problem-based approach, see Linear Programming and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming.
