How to make a program repeat a script

I'm creating this program which calculates the percentage attendance and tells if the student has short attendance or not. Total number of lectures are 36 so I want it to give error if attended lectures (input) are more than 36. How can I make it repeat the program for another input if a>36.

clc

t=36; %total number of lectures

p=input('Enter Number of Lectures Attended \n');

a=(p/t)*100; % this calculates the percentage attendance

if p>36

fprintf('Error, note that the total number of lectures are 36. \n')

elseif (a>=75)

fprintf('The student does not have short attendace. \n')

else

fprintf('The student has short attendace. \n')

end

Sounds like you need a loop. There are two type - for and while. If you know the number of times you want to loop through your code, a for loop is generally the better choice.

You can learn more about for loops in Ch 13 of MATLAB Onramp.
