F5.
Error using CelciusToFahrenheit (line 7)
Not enough input arguments.
This is because there is no input argument (in) for
the function CelciusToFarenheit. The code cannot
work as there is no input to process an output
CelciusToFahrenheit(35)
ans=95
There is now an input for the function
CelciusToFarenheit. The input of (35) will undergo a
multiplication by a factor of 9 and a division by a
factor of 5 then 32 is added the value.
35*9/5+32=63+32=95

help CelciusToFahrenheit
This function takes in one parameter `in' (unit:
Celcius) and then convert it into `out' (unit:
Fahrenheit). The value of `out' after this function is
terminated will be returned to the caller of this
function.

CelciusToFahrenheit(35 40 45) and its variants

CelciusToFahrenheit(35 40 45)
Error: Unexpected MATLAB expression.
(35 40 45) is not a correct format.
CelciusToFahrenheit(35, 40, 45)
Error using CelciusToFahrenheit
Too many input arguments.
There are too many input arguments because in this
case there are 3 input arguments when the function
can only deal with 1 input argument at a time.

CelciusToFahrenheit([35 40 45])
ans = [95 104 113]
The input is a matrix, the function will calculate the
individual values of each column and return the
output values in vector form.
CelciusToFahrenheit([35, 40, 45])
ans = [95 104 113]
The input is also a row matrix, and the function will
return the
output values in each column.
5

Omit semicolon
out = 95
ans = 95
there is now no semicolon to suppress the output of
ans, this will results both the function output and
ans being expressed instead of just out

Change name
CelciusToFahrenheit(35)
ans = 95
CelciusToFarrenheit(35) will call the function which
name has remained unchanged in this case. Hence,
calling the function with the input of (35) will return
the output value of the function.
CtoF(35)
Undefined function 'CToF' for input arguments of
type 'double'.
CtoF(35) will call the function CtoF with an input of
35. Since there is no function with name CtoF that
exists, there is no function called and there is an
error.

7a

ConvertTemperature(35, 'ctof')
ans = 95
Function strcmp compare strings between the first
value and
the second value, and if they are the same it will
return a value
of 1 for true. By having the input of code ctof, it
satisfies the condition for if, the following
calculation will be applied out = 35 * 9 / 5 + 32, and
the value returned will be the answer in Fahrenheit.

7b

ConvertTemperature(95, 'ftoc')
The input of code ftoc satisfies the elseif condition,
as it is false for the if condition and the following
calculation is applied to the value inputted out =
(95 - 32) * 5 / 9, and the value returned will be the
answer in Celcius. The operators in the brackets will
be calculated first, before multiplication and division
in the order they are arranged.(BODMAS)

7c

ConvertTemperature(77, 'lalala')
Error using ConvertTemperature (line 11)
You entered wrong code! Choose ctof or ftoc!\n
The input of the code lalala does not satisfy either
the if or elseif conditions as it is false. Hence it will
go on to the else statement which will show an error
with the display You entered wrong code! Choose
ctof or ftoc!\n

7d

7e

ConvertTemperature('ctof', 100)
Error using ConvertTemperature (line 11)
You entered wrong code! Choose ctof or ftoc!\n
This values are placed in the wrong position. 100 is
entered as the code and will be false and not satisfy
either if and elseif statements. Which will go on to
the else statement which will show an error with the
display You entered wrong code! Choose ctof or
ftoc!\n
ConvertTemperature('lololo', 'ctof')
ConvertTemperature('lololo', 'ctof')
ans = [226.4000 231.8000 226.4000 231.8000
226.4000 231.8000]
The input of the code ctof satisfies the if condition,
and the value inputted re 108 for l and 111 for o
from the ASCII table, and hence
lololo is row vector of [108 111 108 111 108 111],
and the
function of ConvertTemperature apply the
calculation to each
column giving the answer as shown above.

What do you see?
Code

What do you see now?

In
35
The step in steps into the CelciusToFahrenheit
function, but
the function is not executed and hence only an in
value is
saved.
What happen?
The content of the workspace changes according to
which function/script it is running, showing the
variables stored for each particular
script/workspace.
Conclude?
The different variables are stored to each function
and will not be used in other functions that they are
not stored to.
