Question

The price for renting a car at a car rental company is according to the following schedule: Write a MATLAB program in a script file that calculates the cost of renting a car based on the shown price schedule. The program must ask the user to enter the type of car (Sedan or SUV), the number of days, and the number of miles driven. The program then displays the cost (rounded to cents) for the rent in a sentence that reads: "The cost of the rent is XXX $." where XXX is the cost value in $. Run the program three times for the following cases: Sedan, 10 days, 769 miles. SUV, 32 days, 4, 056 miles. Sedan, 3 days, 511 miles. Use fprintf () to display the text and data. The data should be displayed in f format with two decimal digits.

Answer 1

car_type = input('Enter car type: ', 's');
num_days = input('Enter number of days: ');
num_miles = input('Enter miles driven: ');
total_cost = 0;

switch(car_type)
    case 'Sedan'
        if num_days <= 6
            total_cost = 79;
            if num_miles > (num_days * 80)
                total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 80) * 0.69;
            end
        elseif num_days <= 29
            total_cost = 69;
            if num_miles > (num_days * 100)
                total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 100) * 0.59;
            end
        else
            total_cost = 59;
            if num_miles > (num_days * 120)
                total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 120) * 0.49;
            end
        end
    case 'SUV'
      if num_days <= 6
          total_cost = 84;
          if num_miles > (num_days * 80)
              total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 80) * 0.74;
          end
      elseif num_days <= 29
          total_cost = 74;
          if num_miles > (num_days * 100)
              total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 100) * 0.64;
          end
      else
          total_cost = 64;
          if num_miles > (num_days * 120)
              total_cost = total_cost + (num_days - 120) * 0.54;
          end
      end
    otherwise
      fprintf('Invalid Input\n');
      quit
end

fprintf('The rent costs $%0.2f\n', cost);
