Help Fixing Leap Year Function
Show older comments
So i got a problem with my leap year calculator function which asks user to enter a year and function will tell you if its a leap year or not and ask you if you would like to repeator quit ,but i gota problem and dont really know how to fix it becuase am kinda of a noob.Any help would be great .
Getting erros like:
Line 3: END might be missing,possibly matching WHILE.
Line 9: Parse error at ELSE: usage might be invalid MATLAB syntax
function LeapYears
condition = "yes";
while strcmp(condition,"yes") == 1
year = input (' Enter the year : ');
if mod(year,4) == 0
if mod(year,400) == 0 disp ('true')
elseif mod(year,100) == 0 disp ('false')
else disp ('true')
else disp ('false')
end
condition = input("Would you like to repeat? (yes/no)\n", 's') == "yes";
end

The original question may be beneficial to people who wish to learn how to test whether a given year is a leap year.

function LeapYears
condition = "yes";
while strcmp(condition,"yes") == 1
year = input (' Enter the year : ');
if mod(year,4) == 0
if mod(year,400) == 0
disp ('true')
end
elseif mod(year,100) == 0
disp ('false')
else
Okay, that else matches the elseif which is associated with the if mod(year,4) so it is fine.
disp ('true')
else
But that else does not match anything. To use else, the previous control statement has to be if or elseif, not else
disp ('false')
end
condition = input("Would you like to repeat? (yes/no)\n", 's') == "yes";
end
I would also point put that if a year is NOT divisible by 4 (as needed to reach the elseif) then it cannot be divisible by 100.
if mod(year,400) == 0
disp ('true')
end
Perhaps you wanted an else or elseif there?
