MATLAB: While Loop Question – Will not properly execute

MATLABwhile loop

Can anyone help me out on why this while loop will not execute properly when ran through Matlab?
% Until good height, prompt user to enter a value for height in inches
inches = input ('Enter height in inches(59-78): ');
while (inches <= 59) && (inches >= 78)
    disp('not between 59-78');
    inches = input('Enter height in inches(59-78): ');
end

Best Answer

Josh - you probably want to use OR instead of AND
while (inches < 59) || (inches > 78)
Note also how we use < and > since 59 and 78 are valid inputs.
