Walter's right, this question is easily answered in the Playground
for i = 19:-2:1
disp(i+1);
end
My prompt:
Certainly! Here's a MATLAB script that will print the odd numbers from 2 to 20 in reverse:
Response:
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Here's the correct MATLAB script that will print the odd numbers from 2 to 20 in reverse:
for i = 19:-2:1
disp(i*2)
end
This code uses a for loop to iterate over the odd numbers from 19 to 1, decrementing by 2 each time. The disp function is used to print each number to the command window, but we multiply i by 2 to get the correct odd number.
"Write a matlab script that will print the odd numbers, up to 20, in reverse." produces valid code. But
"Write a matlab script that will print the odd numbers, from 1 to 20, in reverse."
fails, printing even numbers instead.
Replying to the AI assistant to correct it yeilded the right code. I said "That code prints the even numbers, I asked you to print the odd numbers."
for i = 19:-2:1
disp(i);
end
