i don't understand

hi,

i was asked to write a simple function for home work :

this was my code:

function [admit]=eligible(v,q)

avg=(v+q)/2;

if (avg>=92) && (v>88) && (q>88)
    admit=1;
else
    admit=0;
end

end

and i don't understand why i got this error message :

please advise what is the problem.

thank's

Replace 1 with ~0 and 0 with ~1.

The problem is your data type is double rather it should be logical meaning it should indicate true or false , something like yes or no. The code should say either true or false it does not matter if it is 1 or 0.

doc logical

Then why didn't you click the "Accept this answer" link to award madhan reputation points, and let others know it's already been solved?

i didn't do it Intentionally ,i've clicked the "Accept this answer" now. maybe you should make the process more clear for new users.

Rather than obfuscated code using negations of numeric values, it is clearer to write true and false:, i.e.:

admit = true;

Note that you can trivially replace the entire if-else-end statement:

admit = (avg>=92) && (v>88) && (q>88);

Wow, this is very elegant !

thanks for showing me that :-)
