MATLAB: Where am i going wrong in this “for loop” script associated with the question below? See the script below the question:

Write a script which will print a table on the screen of the temperature in Celsius and the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit from 0oC to 100oC in steps of 5oC. [Do not use arrays, calculate values individually with a for loop] (Fahrenheit = 1.8 × Celsius + 32)

script:

x= 0:5:100
    y=((1.8*x)+32);
   fprintf('%d in Farenheight = %d \n',x,y)
end

Best Answer

You are missing the "for" key word:

for x= 0:5:100

MATLAB: Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa

disp('This program convert Celsius to Fahrenheit');
Celsius=input('Write a temperature in Celsius and you''ll have the result in Fahrenheit: ');
disp([ 'x = ' num2str(Celsius) ' Celcius and y = ' num2str(Celsius*1.8+32) ' Fahrenheit'])

MATLAB: I am a single function script called ‘TemperatureConvert.m’ that inputs some temperature in Celsius and outputs the temperature in Celcius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit.

You say you are to convert temps from 0 to 100 with interval of 5 degrees, but then set up your for loop using 1:5:100. You are not converting 0, 5, 10, ... but instead 1, 6, 11, ...

Also, you have set up your function to return two variables

function [kelvin, farenheit] = temperatureconvert(celcius)

but are only assigning its output to one.

temp = temperatures(choice);

If you want to capture both outputs from the function you have to assign the output to two variables

[tempK, tempF] = temperatures(choice);

or have the function return a vector containing both values

  function out = temperatureconvert(celcius)
    kelvin = celcius + 273;
    farenheit = (9./5).*(celcius + 2);
    out = [kelvin, farenheit];
  end

Also note that your function is called temperatureconvert but when you call it, you are using the name temperatures. These should be the same, and should be whatever name you used in the function declaration line (temperatureconvert here).
