Abstract

The practical implementation of the cell method, which was presented in the previous parts of the book, can be performed in a very simple and compact way using a high-level programming language. In the following a description of the main phases of the implementation of a simple procedure are presented together with some choices that the authors have considered to be important in code writing.
