MATLAB: Switch Case statements MATLAB code in a ‘for’ loop

Question

I tried running this code below but I am not getting the output as an array of k but instead the otherwise disp'Code not running') is displayed for 4 times. I don't understand where I'm going wrong or is this method wrong? Any help or advise would be appreciated

Code:

L=[6 7 8 9 10];

k=[];

for i=1:length(L)

switch L(i)

case (L(i)<8)

k(i)= -3;

break;

case (L(i)>8)

k(i)=4;

break;

otherwise

disp('Code not running');

end

end

Output:

Code not running

Code not running

Code not running

Code not running

Code not running

Answer 1

switch / case isn't the right tool to use here. I suggest using if / elseif / else instead.
