Due: Feb. 9 before class (5pm)
This URL is http://www.stewart.cs.sdsu.edu/cs205/firstassign.html
Write a MATLAB M-file script with the name
firstio.m
to accomplish the following tasks involving user input and
output (I/O):
- Use the MATLAB input command to ask the user to
enter a number in the range between 0 and 5.
- Use the MATLAB disp command to write a message
thanking the user for input.
- Use a single MATLAB fprintf to write the number entered
by the user with an appropriate text message (of your choosing) on the
same line and, on a separate line, the number entered in fixed point
(%f) format.
Use pico or vi for text editing to create the file
in your CS205 class account.
NOTE: From lab on Jan. 28, you have a example of a MATLAB M-file script
(page17.m) which you can examine. This is a file which
contained MATLAB instructions and comments.
Comments are
REQUIRED in your assignment
and should identify the author of the program, give a brief summary of
the task being accomplished. Following our test's 5 step problem solving
methodology, be sure to test your solution well.
Comments begin with the percent
sign (%) followed by text and are one line long each and should be the first
lines of your file.
Submission of your program: From you class account in CS205,
there is a directory created for you named "turnin". This is
in a location that the instructor will be able to run her tests.
It is important that you follow the instructions carefully below
and we can look in detail during lab (BA113) on Wednesday, Feb. 4,
1998, if there are any questions.
- Copy your file to the turnin directory. The following UNIX
command will accomplish this
% cp firstio.m ~/turnin
- Send email to the instructor telling me that your program is
ready to be checked.
NOTE: there is at least one space between firstio.m and the tilde (~)
above.
