The Background:
I'm in an engineering computing course in university and there are no lab periods between now and the date on which this assignment is due, so this is my last resort. I have attempt to compile all the information I have found on similar question on both this site and stackexchange, but with no success. I'd like help with this specific problem, not for the solution to be handed to me.
The Question:
Using one function, two sub-functions, a third sub-function that is called upon thrice, and no tables, display: the results for 2010 Olympics, the country with the most medals, the country with most gold metals, and all countries with at least 20 medals. Ties must be accounted for.
The Issue:
I have managed to do everything but the formatting of the functions, I thought I had managed format it correctly but I get nothing but errors regarding static workspaces when loading data from a m file and improperly nested functions (the latter referring to the third sub-function).
The Synopsis/tl;dr:
I could use guidance in the formatting of functions when 'fprintf'ing as I have not been able to get it to display the string in the command window.
The Code:
In the preview, some lines appear to be oddly formatted, sorry.
function[]=Assign4_1448721()
clear,clc; load('olympics2010.mat') %loads countries(27x3, string), gold(27x1), silver(27x1), bronze(27x1)
end
function [medals]=calculate_medals()
for i=[1:27] medalsbronze(i)=length(strmatch(countries(i,:), bronze)); end medalsb=(medalsbronze(1:27))';
for j=[1:27]
medalssilver(j)=length(strmatch(countries(j,:), silver));
end
medalss=(medalssilver(1:27))';
for k=[1:27]
medalsgold(k)=length(strmatch(countries(k,:), gold));
end
medalsg=(medalsgold(1:27))';
medals=[medalsg medalss medalsb];
end
function []=print_medals(medals)
fprintf('Country Gold Silver Bronze Total\n')

end
end

Thanks for sticking around!
