StudentNumber = xlsread('ClassList.xlsx','Feb_21_2010','A4:A34');
Absences = xlsread('ClassList.xlsx','Feb_21_2010','B4:B34');
StudNum=size(StudentNumber);
fprintf('Class List as of February 21, 2010\n\n')
fprintf('Student# \t  Absences\n')
for n = 1:1:StudNum
fprintf('\n%5i \t\t\t  %i\n',StudentNumber(n),Absences(n))
end
disp('')
fprintf('Students with 1 or 2 Absences who will recieve a Warning Letter\n\n')
Abs=[Absences];
nAbs=length(Abs);
NumAbs(1:StudNum,1:nAbs)= false;
fprintf('Student# \t Absences\n')
for n = 1:1:nAbs
      fprintf('\n%5i \t\t\t %i\n',StudentNumber(n),Absences(n))

Best Answer

for n = 1 : nAbs
if Absences(n) == 1 || Absences(n) == 2
   fprintf('\n%5i \t\t\t %i\n',StudentNumber(n),Absences(n))
end
end
