function P = cities(N,border,hub)
SB = size(border);
SH = size(hub);
if length(N) ~= 1
    error('N cannot be a matrix')
elseif N <= 0
    error('N must be larger than 0')
elseif mod(N,1) ~= 0
    error('N must be an integer')
elseif SH(2) ~= 2 || SH(1) ~= 1
    error('Input "border" must be a 1x2 matrix')
elseif SB(2) ~= 2
    error('Input "border" must be a two column array')
else
      xb = border(:,1)'; %Column 1 of border
      yb = border(:,2)'; %Column 2 of border
for i= 1 : N
      while (1)
          xrand=min(xb)+(max(xb)-min(xb)).*rand(1);%In general, you can generate N random numbers in the interval (a,b) with the formula r = a + (b-a).*rand(N,1).
          yrand=min(yb)+(max(yb)-min(yb)).*rand(1);%Used min and max to make the boundary guess a little better
              if inpolygon(xrand,yrand,xb,yb)==1; %Exit While loop when inside polygon
                  break
              end
      end
          Prand(i,:)=[xrand yrand]; %Populate random locations matrix
end
          P=[hub;Prand]; %Combine input hub with random locations for output
end

      keep_searching = true;
      while keep_searching
          xrand=min(xb)+(max(xb)-min(xb)).*rand(1);%In general, you can generate N random numbers in the interval (a,b) with the formula r = a + (b-a).*rand(N,1).
          yrand=min(yb)+(max(yb)-min(yb)).*rand(1);%Used min and max to make the boundary guess a little better
              if inpolygon(xrand,yrand,xb,yb)==1; %Exit While loop when inside polygon
                  keep_searching = false;
              end
      end
