Question

Start with a 1 × 7 vector of random integers in the interval [2, 12]. Test if any of these integers are larger than 6. If any are, find the smallest of these and assign it to K. Then test along the following criteria. If K is an even number, set d = 1. If K is odd and smaller than 10 then set d = 2. But if K is odd and larger than or equal to 10, then set d = 3. If none of the initial 7 integers were larger than 6, set d = 4.

Please use MATLAB and good commenting.

Answer 1

code:

%%create a vector of 7 elements ranging from 2 to 12
rand_vector = randi([2,12],1,7);
%set k to inf so it becomes largest than any other element
K = inf;
%check for each element in vector
for item = rand_vector
if item > 6 % if K is greater than 6
if K > item % if K is greater than the current element
K = item; %set K as the item
end
end
end
% if after dividing by 2 remainder is 0 number is even
if rem(K,2) == 0
d = 1; %set d as 1
elseif rem(K,2) == 1 %if remainder is 1 number is odd
if K < 10 %if K is less than 10
d = 2; %set d as 2
else %if K is greater than or equal to 10
d = 3; %set d as 3
end
else % if none of the initial integers were larger than 6
d = 4; %set d as 4
end
%display the value of d
disp("the value of d is " + d);
