Relational operators
There are six relational operators in MATLAB:

Operator Description
< Less than
=< Less than or equal to
> Greater than
=> Greater than or equal to
== Equal to
=~ Not equal to

Logical operators
Operator Description

true only if both values are

&& logical AND
true

|| logical OR true if either value is true

if true, then false; if false,

~ logical NOT
then true
xor logical EXCLUSIVE true only if both values are
  OR different
If Statement
Tests an expression and only executes the code if the
.expression is true

EX:
n= -7 ;
if n < 0 % If n negative, display error message.
disp('Input must be positive');
elseif rem(n,2) == 0 % If n positive and even, divide by 2.
A = n/2;
else
A = (n+1)/2; % If n positive and odd, increment and divide.
end
If Statement
Write the program that display the result according to the degree:

If degree is less than 50, display(Fail), otherwise display (Pass)

degree=23;
if degree<50
disp(‘Fail');
else
disp(‘Pass');
end
If Statement

calculate the maximum value in matrix x

x=[ 1 -1 2 3];
max=x(1);
for i=1:length(x)
if x(i) > max
max=x(i);
end
end
max
If Statement
calculate the maximum and minimum value in matrix x

x=[ 1 -1 2 3];
max=x(1);
min=x(1);
for i=1:length(x)
if x(i) < min
min=x(i);
end
if x(i) > max
max=x(i);
end
end
fprintf('Max. number is : %d \n',max)
fprintf('Min. number is : %d \n',min)
If Statement
Write a Matlab program that have two input integers x and y. It will output
the absolute difference of the two integers.

x=4;
y=2;
Result=0;
if x<y
Result = y-x;
elseif x>y
Result = x-y;
else
Result=0;
end
disp(Result)
If Statement
Determine and print the number of zeros in matrix x

x=[0 1 -1 0 2 0 3];
count = 0;
for i=1: length(x)
if x(i)==0
count=count+1;
end
end
disp(count);
If Statement

Verify that all matrix X element are positive values.

x=[ 1 -1 2 3];
for i=1:length(x)
if x(i)<0
disp('Matrix has negative element');
end
end
If Statement
Percentage marks attained by a student in three exams are to be entered to
a computer. An indication of Pass or Fail is given out after the three marks
are entered. The criteria for passing are as follows:
A student passes if all three examinations are passed. Additionally a
student may pass if any subject is failed and the overall average is greater
than or equal to 50. The pass mark for an individual subject is 40.

ExamResult1=45;
ExamResult2=50;
ExamResult3=35;
Average = (ExamResult1+ ExamResult2+ ExamResult3)/3;
if ExamResult1>=40 && ExamResult2>= 40 && ExamResult3>=40
disp('pass');
elseif Average >=50
disp('pass');
else
disp('fail');
end
