Implementing common formatting MATLAB functions. Explain in details.

ChatGPT

In MATLAB, there are several common formatting functions used to modify the appearance of
output or plots. Let's discuss some of these functions and their implementations:

1. sprintf: This function is used to create a formatted string as output. It works similar to the C
language's `printf` function.

Example:

matlab

x = 3.14159;
str = sprintf('The value of pi is %.2f', x);
disp(str);

Explanation:

`%f` is a format specifier for a floating-point number.

`.2` specifies that the number should be rounded to two decimal places.
`disp` displays the formatted string.

2. fprintf: This function is similar to `sprintf`, but it writes the formatted string directly to a file
or the command window instead of returning it.

Example:

matlab

fid = fopen('output.txt', 'w');

fprintf(fid, 'The value of pi is %.2f\n', x);
fclose(fid);

Explanation:

`fopen` opens a file for writing.

`fprintf` writes the formatted string to the file.
`fclose` closes the file.

3. num2str: This function converts numeric values to strings.

Example:

 matlab

y = 42;
str = num2str(y);

Explanation:

`num2str` converts the numeric value `y` to a string.

4. disp: This function displays the value of an expression or variable.

Example:

matlab

disp(['The value of y is ' num2str(y)]);

Explanation:

`disp` displays the concatenated string and the value of `y`.

5. format: This function controls the numeric format display. It can set the output display to long
or short format, for example.

Example:

matlab

format long;
pi

Explanation:

`format long` sets the display format to long, showing more digits after the decimal
point.
`pi` displays the value of pi with increased precision.

These are some of the common formatting functions in MATLAB and their implementations. They
are useful for controlling the appearance of output strings, numbers, and plots in MATLAB
programs.

log2_value = log2(x);

6. Special Functions:
MATLAB provides functions for special mathematical operations such as factorial (`factorial`),
gamma function (`gamma`), Bessel functions (`besselj`, `bessely`, etc.), and error function
(`erf`).

Example:

matlab

n = 5;
factorial_value = factorial(n);
gamma_value = gamma(x);
bessel_value = besselj(2, x);
error_function_value = erf(x);

7. Random Number Generation:

MATLAB includes functions for generating random numbers and random matrices. Common
functions include `rand` for uniform distribution, `randn` for normal distribution, and `randi`
for random integers.

Example:

matlab

random_matrix = rand(3, 3); % Generates a 3x3 matrix with random values between 0 and 1

These are some of the fundamental mathematical operations and functions available in MATLAB.

ChatGPT

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/33
 Working with script files in MATLAB allows you to write and execute sequences of MATLAB
commands and functions in a single file. Script files are commonly used for automating repetitive
tasks, implementing algorithms, and organizing code into reusable modules. Here's a detailed
explanation of how to work with script files and execute programs in MATLAB:

Creating a Script File:

1. Open MATLAB Editor: You can open the MATLAB Editor by clicking on the "New Script" button
in the MATLAB toolbar or by typing `edit` followed by the script file name in the MATLAB
Command Window.

2. Write MATLAB Code: In the MATLAB Editor, write your MATLAB code. This can include variable
assignments, function calls, loops, conditional statements, and any other MATLAB commands.

3. Save the Script File: Once you've written your MATLAB code, save the script file with a `.m`
extension. Choose a descriptive name for your script file that reflects its purpose.

Executing a Script File:

1. Run the Script File: To execute the script file, you have several options:

Click on the "Run" button in the MATLAB Editor toolbar.

Type the name of the script file (without the `.m` extension) in the MATLAB Command
Window and press Enter.
Use the `run` function followed by the name of the script file in the Command Window.

Example:

matlab

run my_script

2. View Output: After running the script file, MATLAB executes the commands sequentially and
displays any output or plots generated by the script in the Command Window or other
MATLAB windows (e.g., Figure Windows).

Debugging and Editing:

1. Debugging: If your script encounters errors during execution, MATLAB provides debugging
tools to help you diagnose and fix issues. You can use breakpoints, step through code
execution, and inspect variables using the MATLAB Editor's debugging features.

2. Editing: You can edit your script file at any time by opening it in the MATLAB Editor and
making changes to the code. Save the file after making edits, and you can rerun the script to
see the updated results.

Best Practices:

1. Comments: Use comments (`%`) to document your code and explain its purpose, functionality,
and any important details. Comments improve code readability and make it easier for others
(or yourself in the future) to understand the code.

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/33
 2. Modularity: Break your code into logical sections or functions to improve organization and
reusability. You can call functions defined in separate script files from your main script to
modularize your code.

3. Clear Workspace: Before running a script, it's good practice to clear the MATLAB workspace to
avoid conflicts with existing variables. You can do this by typing `clear` in the Command
Window or including `clear` at the beginning of your script.

4. Save Your Work: Save your script files regularly to avoid losing your code. MATLAB Editor
automatically prompts you to save unsaved changes before running or closing a script file.

By following these steps and best practices, you can effectively work with script files in MATLAB,
write and execute programs, debug errors, and organize your code for efficient development and
collaboration.

A3 = ones(2, 4);
% 4x2 matrix filled with random values between 0 and 1
A4 = rand(4, 2);

3. Using eye Function: The `eye` function creates an identity matrix (a square matrix with ones
on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere).

Example:

matlab

% 4x4 identity matrix

A5 = eye(4);

4. Using diag Function: The `diag` function creates a diagonal matrix from a vector or extracts
the diagonal elements from a matrix.

Example:

matlab

% Diagonal matrix with elements 1, 2, 3 on the main diagonal

A6 = diag([1, 2, 3]);

In MATLAB, you can solve systems of simultaneous linear equations using the backslash operator
`\`, the `linsolve` function, or specific linear algebra functions. Solving linear equations is a
common task in engineering, science, and mathematics. MATLAB provides several methods to solve
such systems efficiently. Here's a detailed explanation of how to solve systems of simultaneous
linear equations in MATLAB:

1. Using the Backslash Operator `\`:

The backslash operator `\` performs matrix left division, also known as solving linear equations
using Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting. It is the most commonly used method for solving
linear systems in MATLAB.

Syntax:

matlab

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 13/33
 x = A \ b;

Where:

`A` is the coefficient matrix.

`b` is the right-hand side vector.
`x` is the solution vector.

Example:

Consider the following system of linear equations:

2x + 3y = 5
4x - 2y = 6

We can represent this system as matrix equation `Ax = b`, where:

css

A = [2, 3; 4, -2]
x = [x; y]
b = [5; 6]

In MATLAB:

matlab

A = [2, 3; 4, -2];
b = [5; 6];
x = A \ b; % Solves the system of linear equations
disp(x); % Display the solution vector

2. Using the `linsolve` Function:

The `linsolve` function also solves systems of linear equations, similar to the backslash operator.

Syntax:

matlab

x = linsolve(A, b);

Where the variables `A`, `b`, and `x` have the same meanings as described earlier.

Example:

Using the same system of equations as before:

matlab

A = [2, 3; 4, -2];
b = [5; 6];

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 14/33
 x = linsolve(A, b); % Solves the system of linear equations
disp(x); % Display the solution vector

3. Using Specific Linear Algebra Functions:

MATLAB provides specific linear algebra functions like `inv`, `det`, and `lu` for solving linear
systems. However, these methods may not be as efficient as the backslash operator for large
systems.

Example using `inv` and `*`:

matlab

A = [2, 3; 4, -2];
b = [5; 6];
x = inv(A) * b; % Solves the system of linear equations
disp(x); % Display the solution vector

Example using `lu`:

matlab

A = [2, 3; 4, -2];
b = [5; 6];
[L, U, P] = lu(A);
y = L \ (P * b);
x = U \ y; % Solves the system of linear equations
disp(x); % Display the solution vector

Tips:

Always check the condition number of the coefficient matrix `A` using `cond(A)` to assess the
numerical stability of the solution.
If `A` is singular or ill-conditioned, consider using iterative methods or regularization
techniques.

By using these methods, you can efficiently solve systems of simultaneous linear equations in
MATLAB for various applications. The choice of method depends on the specific requirements of the
problem and the size of the system.

commands into a reusable function. Function files are useful for modularizing code, improving code
organization, and promoting code reuse. Here's a detailed explanation of how to create and execute
a function file in MATLAB:

Creating a Function File:

1. Open MATLAB Editor:

Open the MATLAB Editor by clicking on the "New Script" button in the MATLAB toolbar or
by typing `edit` followed by the function name in the MATLAB Command Window.

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 20/33
 2. Write the Function Code:

Write the MATLAB code for your function in the MATLAB Editor. Start with the function
declaration line, followed by the function body.
Example:

matlab

function result = myFunction(input1, input2)

% myFunction calculates the sum of two input values
% Syntax: result = myFunction(input1, input2)

result = input1 + input2;

end

3. Save the Function File:

Save the function file with a `.m` extension and a name that matches the function name.
This is essential for MATLAB to recognize it as a function file.
Example:
Save the file as `myFunction.m`.

Executing a Function File:

1. Call the Function:

Once the function file is saved, you can call the function from the MATLAB Command
Window or from other MATLAB scripts or function files.
Example:

matlab

result = myFunction(3, 4);

disp(result); % Displays the result (7) in the Command Window

2. Output Argument:

If the function returns an output, assign the output to a variable when calling the
function. This variable will hold the result returned by the function.
Example:

matlab

result = myFunction(3, 4);

Function Syntax and Comments:

1. Function Declaration:

The function declaration line starts with the `function` keyword followed by the output
arguments (if any) and the function name, and then input arguments enclosed in
parentheses.
Example:

matlab

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 21/33
 function result = myFunction(input1, input2)

2. Function Description:

Provide a description of the function's purpose, syntax, and usage using comments
immediately after the function declaration line. This documentation helps users
understand how to use the function.
Example:

matlab

% myFunction calculates the sum of two input values

% Syntax: result = myFunction(input1, input2)

Tips:

Function Name: Use a meaningful name for the function that describes its purpose.
Input and Output: Define input and output arguments based on the function's requirements.
Function Signature: The function signature includes the function name and the number and
types of input and output arguments.
Error Handling: Implement error handling within the function to handle unexpected inputs or
errors gracefully.

By following these steps and best practices, you can create and execute function files in MATLAB
efficiently. This allows you to organize your code into modular and reusable components, enhancing
code readability, maintainability, and productivity.

You
Designing program in MATLAB using control statements(if-else). Explain in detail.

ChatGPT

Using control statements like if-else in MATLAB allows you to implement conditional logic in your
programs. These statements help you control the flow of execution based on certain conditions.
Here's a detailed explanation of how to design a program in MATLAB using if-else control
statements:

Syntax of if-else Statement:

The basic syntax of the if-else statement in MATLAB is as follows:

matlab

if condition
% Code to execute if condition is true
else
% Code to execute if condition is false
end

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 22/33
 Example:

Let's consider a simple example where we want to check if a given number is positive, negative, or
zero. We'll design a MATLAB program to implement this logic using if-else statements.

matlab

% Prompt the user to enter a number

num = input('Enter a number: ');

% Check if the number is positive, negative, or zero

if num > 0
disp('The number is positive');
elseif num < 0
disp('The number is negative');
else
disp('The number is zero');
end

Explanation:

1. Input: The program prompts the user to enter a number using the `input` function, and the
entered value is stored in the variable `num`.

2. if-else Statement: The if-else statement checks the value of `num` against different conditions:

If `num` is greater than 0, it displays "The number is positive".

If `num` is less than 0, it displays "The number is negative".
If `num` is equal to 0, it displays "The number is zero".

3. disp Function: The `disp` function is used to display messages in the MATLAB Command
Window based on the condition that is true.

Nested if-else Statements:

You can also nest if-else statements within each other to handle more complex conditions. Here's an
example:

matlab

% Prompt the user to enter two numbers

num1 = input('Enter the first number: ');
num2 = input('Enter the second number: ');

% Check if the numbers are equal, or which one is greater

if num1 == num2
disp('The numbers are equal');
else
if num1 > num2
disp('The first number is greater');
else
disp('The second number is greater');
end
end

Tips:

 Indentation: Use indentation to improve code readability. MATLAB doesn't require indentation
for syntax correctness, but it enhances code readability.
Logical Operators: You can use logical operators (`&&`, `||`, `~`) to combine multiple
conditions in if statements.
Elseif: Use the `elseif` keyword to check additional conditions after the initial `if` condition.

By using if-else control statements effectively, you can create MATLAB programs that perform
different actions based on specific conditions, enhancing the flexibility and functionality of your
code.

You
Designing program using loop control statements (for loop). Explain in detail.

ChatGPT

Using loop control statements, such as the for loop, in MATLAB allows you to execute a block of
code repeatedly for a specified number of iterations. This is particularly useful when you need to
perform a task multiple times, such as iterating over elements in an array or generating a sequence
of numbers. Here's a detailed explanation of how to design a program using for loops in MATLAB:

Syntax of for Loop:

The basic syntax of the for loop in MATLAB is as follows:

matlab

for variable = startValue:endValue

% Code to execute inside the loop
end

`variable`: A loop variable that takes on values from `startValue` to `endValue` in each
iteration.
`startValue`: The initial value of the loop variable.
`endValue`: The final value of the loop variable.

Example 1: Iterating Over an Array

Let's consider a simple example where we want to iterate over an array and display each element
along with its index:

matlab

% Define an array
arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];

% Iterate over the array using a for loop

for i = 1:length(arr)
disp(['Element at index ', num2str(i), ' is ', num2str(arr(i))]);
end

Explanation:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 24/33
 1. Array Definition: We define an array named `arr` containing some elements.

2. for Loop: The for loop iterates over the elements of the array using the loop variable `i`. The
loop variable `i` takes on values from 1 to the length of the array (`length(arr)`). In each
iteration, the loop displays the index and value of the current element using the `disp`
function.

Example 2: Generating a Sequence of Numbers

Let's consider another example where we want to generate a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10
and display each number:

matlab

% Generate a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10 using a for loop

for i = 1:10
disp(['Number ', num2str(i)]);
end

Explanation:

1. for Loop: In this example, the for loop iterates over the numbers from 1 to 10 using the loop
variable `i`. The loop displays each number along with a message using the `disp` function.

Nested for Loops:

You can also nest for loops within each other to perform more complex tasks. Here's an example:

matlab

% Nested for loop example

for i = 1:3
for j = 1:2
disp(['i = ', num2str(i), ', j = ', num2str(j)]);
end
end

Tips:

Initialization: Initialize loop variables before using them in a loop.

Loop Index: Use loop index to access elements in an array or perform calculations.
Loop Control: Use loop control statements like `break` and `continue` to control the flow of
execution within a loop.

By using for loops effectively, you can create MATLAB programs that execute a block of code
repeatedly, making it easier to perform tasks such as iterating over arrays, generating sequences of
numbers, and performing repetitive calculations.

You
Designing program using loop control statements (while loops). Explain in detail.

 ChatGPT

Using loop control statements, such as while loops, in MATLAB allows you to execute a block of code
repeatedly as long as a specified condition is true. While loops are particularly useful when the
number of iterations is not known beforehand or when you want to repeat a task until a certain
condition is met. Here's a detailed explanation of how to design a program using while loops in
MATLAB:

Syntax of while Loop:

The basic syntax of the while loop in MATLAB is as follows:

matlab

while condition
% Code to execute inside the loop
end

`condition`: A logical expression that determines whether the loop should continue executing.
If the condition evaluates to true, the loop continues; if it evaluates to false, the loop
terminates.

Example 1: Counting Down from 5 to 1

Let's consider a simple example where we want to count down from 5 to 1 and display each
number:

matlab

% Initialize the counter

count = 5;

% Execute the loop while count is greater than 0

while count > 0
disp(count);
count = count - 1; % Decrement the counter
end

Explanation:

1. Initialization: We initialize a variable named `count` with a value of 5.

2. while Loop: The while loop continues to execute as long as the condition `count > 0` is true.
Inside the loop, each value of `count` is displayed using the `disp` function, and then `count`
is decremented by 1 in each iteration.

Example 2: Generating Fibonacci Series

Let's consider another example where we want to generate the first 10 numbers in the Fibonacci
series:

matlab

% Initialize variables for Fibonacci series

a = 0;

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 26/33
 b = 1;
n = 10;
count = 0;

% Execute the loop until count reaches n

while count < n
disp(a);
c = a + b; % Calculate the next number in the series
a = b; % Update the value of a
b = c; % Update the value of b
count = count + 1; % Increment the counter
end

Explanation:

1. Initialization: We initialize variables `a` and `b` with the first two numbers of the Fibonacci
series, and `n` with the total number of elements we want to generate. We also initialize a
counter `count` to keep track of the number of iterations.

2. while Loop: The while loop continues to execute until the counter `count` reaches the value of
`n`. Inside the loop, each number in the Fibonacci series is displayed using the `disp` function.
Then, the next number in the series is calculated by adding `a` and `b`, and the values of `a`
and `b` are updated accordingly. Finally, the counter `count` is incremented by 1 in each
iteration.

Tips:

Initialization: Initialize loop variables and any other necessary variables before entering the
loop.
Loop Condition: Make sure the loop condition eventually becomes false to avoid infinite loops.
Loop Control: Use loop control statements like `break` and `continue` to control the flow of
execution within a loop.

By using while loops effectively, you can create MATLAB programs that execute a block of code
repeatedly based on a specified condition, allowing you to perform tasks such as counting down,
generating sequences, and iterating until a certain condition is met.

You
To interpolate the data and fitting of curve numerically using MATLAB. Explain in detail.

ChatGPT

Interpolating data and fitting curves numerically in MATLAB are common tasks in data analysis and
modeling. Interpolation involves estimating the value of data points within a range based on the
known values, while curve fitting involves finding a mathematical function that best represents the
given data points. MATLAB provides built-in functions and tools for both interpolation and curve
fitting. Here's a detailed explanation of how to interpolate data and fit curves numerically using
MATLAB:

Interpolating Data:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 27/33
 1. Load Data:

Load your data into MATLAB. This data can be in the form of vectors or matrices
containing the x and y coordinates of data points.

2. Interpolation Functions:

MATLAB provides several interpolation functions, such as `interp1`, `interp2`, and

`interp3`, for 1D, 2D, and 3D interpolation, respectively.
Syntax for 1D interpolation (`interp1`):

matlab

interpolated_values = interp1(x_data, y_data, x_query, method);

`x_data`: Vector of x-coordinates of known data points.

`y_data`: Vector of y-coordinates of known data points.
`x_query`: Vector of x-coordinates where interpolation is required.
`method`: Interpolation method (e.g., `'linear'`, `'spline'`, `'pchip'`, etc.).

3. Perform Interpolation:

Use the appropriate interpolation function to interpolate the data points at desired
locations.
Example:

matlab

x_data = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

y_data = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16];
x_query = linspace(0.5, 3.5, 10);
interpolated_values = interp1(x_data, y_data, x_query, 'linear');

Fitting Curves:

1. Load Data:

Similar to interpolation, load your data into MATLAB.

2. Curve Fitting Functions:

MATLAB provides the `fit` function and the Curve Fitting Toolbox for curve fitting tasks.
Syntax for using `fit` function:

matlab

fitted_model = fit(x_data, y_data, model_specification);

`x_data`: Vector of x-coordinates of known data points.

`y_data`: Vector of y-coordinates of known data points.

 Calculating derivatives and integrals of given data numerically in MATLAB involves using numerical
differentiation and integration techniques. MATLAB provides built-in functions and tools for
performing these operations efficiently. Here's a detailed explanation of how to calculate derivatives
and integrals of given data numerically using MATLAB:

Numerical Differentiation:

1. Load Data:

Load your data into MATLAB. This data can be in the form of vectors or matrices
containing the x and y coordinates of data points.

2. Derivative Functions:

MATLAB provides the `diff` function for numerical differentiation, which computes
differences between adjacent elements of a vector.
Syntax:

matlab

derivative = diff(y_data) ./ diff(x_data);

`x_data`:Vector of x-coordinates of data points.

`y_data`:Vector of y-coordinates of data points.
`diff(y_data)`: Differences between adjacent y-values.
`diff(x_data)`: Differences between adjacent x-values.

3. Perform Differentiation:

Use the `diff` function to calculate the differences between consecutive y-values and x-
values, and then divide them to obtain numerical derivatives.
Example:

matlab

x_data = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

y_data = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16];
derivative = diff(y_data) ./ diff(x_data);

Numerical Integration:

1. Load Data:

Similar to differentiation, load your data into MATLAB.

2. Integration Functions:

MATLAB provides the `trapz` function for numerical integration, which performs
trapezoidal numerical integration on given data.
Syntax:

matlab

integral_value = trapz(x_data, y_data);

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 30/33
 `x_data`: Vector of x-coordinates of data points.
`y_data`: Vector of y-coordinates of data points.

3. Perform Integration:

Use the `trapz` function to perform trapezoidal numerical integration on the given data
points.
Example:

matlab

x_data = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

y_data = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16];
integral_value = trapz(x_data, y_data);

Visualization (Optional):

1. Plot Data:

Optionally, plot the original data points using the `plot` function to visualize the data.

2. Plot Derivative/Integral:

Plot the calculated derivative or integral values on the same plot to visualize the results.

Tips:

Data Preparation: Ensure that the data is properly formatted and aligned before performing
differentiation or integration.
Interpolation: If the data is not evenly spaced, consider interpolating the data before
performing differentiation or integration for better accuracy.
Validation: Validate the results of differentiation and integration by comparing them with
analytical solutions if available, or by checking for consistency with expected behavior.

You
Designing program using loop control statements (break, continue and return statements). Explain
in detail.

ChatGPT

Loop control statements such as `break`, `continue`, and `return` are essential tools for controlling
the flow of execution within loops in MATLAB. They allow you to modify the behavior of loops based
on certain conditions or events. Here's a detailed explanation of how to design a program using
loop control statements in MATLAB:

1. `break` Statement:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 31/33
 The `break` statement is used to exit a loop prematurely if a certain condition is met. It is typically
used to terminate a loop when a specific condition is satisfied.

Example:

matlab

for i = 1:10
if i == 5
break; % Exit the loop when i equals 5
end
disp(i);
end

Explanation:

In this example, the loop iterates from 1 to 10.

Inside the loop, there's an `if` statement that checks if the loop variable `i` is equal to 5.
If `i` is equal to 5, the `break` statement is executed, causing the loop to terminate
prematurely.
As a result, only the numbers 1 to 4 are displayed, and the loop exits when `i` equals 5.

2. `continue` Statement:

The `continue` statement is used to skip the rest of the current iteration of a loop and proceed to
the next iteration. It is typically used to bypass certain iterations based on specific conditions.

Example:

matlab

for i = 1:10
if rem(i, 2) == 0
continue; % Skip even numbers
end
disp(i);
end

Explanation:

In this example, the loop iterates from 1 to 10.

Inside the loop, there's an `if` statement that checks if the loop variable `i` is even using the
`rem` function.
If `i` is even, the `continue` statement is executed, causing the loop to skip the rest of the
current iteration and proceed to the next iteration.
As a result, only the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are displayed, and even numbers are skipped.

3. `return` Statement:

The `return` statement is used to exit a function prematurely if a certain condition is met. It is
typically used inside functions to return control to the calling function before reaching the end of
the function.

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 32/33
 Example:

matlab

function result = findValue(array, target)

for i = 1:length(array)
if array(i) == target
result = i;
return; % Exit the function when target is found
end
end
result = -1; % If target is not found
end

Explanation:

In this example, we define a function named `findValue` that takes an array and a target value
as input.
Inside the function, there's a loop that iterates over the elements of the array.
If the loop finds an element equal to the target value, it assigns the index of that element to
the `result` variable and then uses the `return` statement to exit the function prematurely.
If the target value is not found, the function continues to the end, and `-1` is returned as the
result.

Tips:

Use `break` to exit a loop prematurely when a specific condition is met.

Use `continue` to skip certain iterations of a loop based on specific conditions.
Use `return` to exit a function prematurely when a specific condition is met.

By using these loop control statements effectively, you can design MATLAB programs that execute
loops with more flexibility and control, making your code more efficient and easier to understand.
