Not enough input arguments. Error in get_Result (line 6) if(answers​{i}.charAt​(j)==corre​ct.charAt(​j))

function[count]=get_Result(answers,correct)

count=[0 0 0 0 0];

for i=1:5

    for j=1:5

        if(answers{i}.charAt(j)==correct.charAt(j))

            count(i)=count(i)+1;     

        end  

    end

end disp('the answers are: ',count);

end

anyone can help me this function. this function can compare between each character of string in a cell with a string and return a vector of number matches.

for eg.we have {'ttfft','tttff','tftft','ttfft,'fffff'} and we have a string 'ttftf'

Hi @abdulelah farhat,

'charAt' method is not available in MATLAB (it's a Java method!).

As I understand from the code, the function attempts to check the number of character matches in every string of the cell array 'answers' with 'correct'. To extract the character at a particular position of a string, you can just index the string with the required position [1-indexed] using parantheses () - see here.

Thus, the changed 'if' check would be like this -

if(answers{i}(j)==correct(j))
    ...
end

Thanks.
