EXERCISE 5-1

Answer the following questions after checking the output of the codes in MATLAB.

1. What will the following code print?

a = 10;
if a ∼= 0
disp('a is not equal to 0')
end

Answer:
a is not equal to zero

2. What will the following code print?

a = 10;
if a > 0
disp('a is positive')
else
disp('a is not positive')
end

Answer:
a is positive

3. What will the following code print?

a = 5;
b = 3;
c = 2;
if a < b*c
disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end

ANSWER:
Hello world
 4 Suppose the code in Problem 2 is modied by adding parentheses around a > 0. What will it
print?

a = 10;
if (a > 0)
disp('a is positive')
else
disp('a is not positive')
end

Answer:
a is positive

5. Suppose the code in Problem 3 is modied by adding the parentheses shown below. What will it
print?

a = 5;
b = 3;
c = 2;
if (a < b)*c
disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end

Answer:
Goodbye world

6. What will the following code print?

p1 = 3.14;
p2 = 3.14159;
if p1 == p2
disp('p1 and p2 are equal')
else
disp('p1 and p2 are not equal')
end

Answer:
p1 and p2 are not equal
 7. What will the following code print?

a = 5;
b = 10;
if a == b
disp('a and b are equal')
else
disp('a and b are not equal')
end

Answer:
a and b are not equal

8. For what values of the variable a will the following MATLAB code print 'Hello world'?

if ∼ a == 0
disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end

Answer:
Any value as long as it is not zero.

9. For what values of the variable a will the following code print 'Hello world'?

if a >= 0 && a < 7

disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end

Answer:
Any number between 0 and 6

10. For what values of the variable a will the following code print 'Hello world'?

if a < 3 || a > 10
disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end
Answer:
For any values below 3 and any values above 10.

11. For what values of the variable a will the following code print 'Hello world'?

if a < 7 || a >= 3
disp('Hello world')
else
disp('Goodbye world')
end

Answer:
Any value is possible

12. Write an if statement that will print 'a is very close to zero' if the value of the variable a is
between -0.01 and 0.01.

Answer:

if (a>=-0.01) && (a<=0.01)

fprintf('a is very close to zero\n')
end
