The following program contain multiply syntax error circle them all. Note circle a correct syntax
code will lead to deduction of marks. (20 points)

row = input ( Please enter the number of rows in the matrix: );

column = input ( Please enter the number of columns in the matrix: );
% Ask the user to input the 1's and 0's in these for loops.
for m=1: row
for n = 1 : column
5 = input_value;
while (input_value ~= 1) && (input_value ~= 0)
ask_input = ['Please input value (0/1) for element ', num2str(m), ', ', num2str(n)];
disp (ask_input)
input_value = input ('enter the value here: ');
end
matrix(m,n) = input_value;
end
end
disp( The matrix you entered is: )

A program is shown below. Your task is to write a new program that perform the same task and
achieve the same results by replacing the for loops with while loops. You can introduce new variables in
the new program if you need them. (20 points)
i_end=5
j_start=5
counter=1;
for i=1:i_end
for j=j_start:-1:1
counter=counter+1;
end

A stirred-tank blending system is shown below. In stream 1, assume that the mass flow rate w1
is constant, but mass fraction of A (x1) varies with time. Assume stream 2 consists of pure A (x2 = 1) and
the mass flow rate w2 can be adjusted. The mass fraction of A in the outlet stream is defined as x and
the set point is xsp. (a) Identify the control strategy. (b) Briefly discuss the advantage of this control
strategy. (c) For control purpose, how to determine the sampling time of measured variables. (20
points)
