I am trying to ask a user input a real, positive number by using input function and checking the condition with a while loop. I am successful to check is the number is real and positive but I could not figure out how to correct if the user inputs a character.
K=input('Enter the K value = ', 's');% I ask as string because if the user enters a character I want to give warning
%rather than code is not working.
K=str2num(K); % convert string to a number
sK=size(K); % if K is a character its size will be 0 0
sK=sK(1);while (isnan(K)) || (any(imag(K)))|| ((K<=0)) disp('Number of domains input needs to be real and positive') K=input('Enter the K value = ', 's'); K=str2num(K); sK=size(K); sK=sK(1); end% This while loop works but I can not check for if the input was a character
while (isnan(K)) || (any(imag(K)))|| ((K<=0)) || (sK==0) % get an error Operands to the || and && operators must be
%convertible to logical scalar values.
Any thoughts where I make a mistake?
(in the second while I can't write in the question , I dont know why. But I know there should be between statements) Thank you
