Problem 1

The document contains 3 programming problems and solutions. Problem 1 takes user input of temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius and determines which is higher. Problem 2 simulates a guessing game where the user tries to guess a "magic number" and is told if their guess is too high or low. Problem 3 takes a wavelength input and outputs the corresponding spectral color, or indicates if it is outside the visible spectrum.

Problem 1
% 11:15M MC4-10/12/18 Stephen Yang
% Problem Statement: The purpose of this program is to
% take user input of temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius
% and determines which is higher.

clear
clc
% Takes user input of temperatures in F and C
F = input('Please enter temp in F ');
C = input('Please enter temp in C ');
% Converts Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit
C = (C * 9/5) + 32;
% Calculates difference between temperatures
Diff = F - C;
% Determines which temperature is higher or if they're equal
if abs(Diff) < 0.05
disp("The temperatures are equal")
elseif Diff < 0
disp("The Fahrenheit temperature is cooler")
elseif Diff > 0
disp("The Fahrenheit temperature is warmer")
end

Problem 2
% 11:15M MC4-10/12/18 Stephen Yang
% Problem Statement: The purpose of this program is to simulate a guessing game
% where the user tries to guess the "magic number." The program
% tells the user if they're too low or high. The user can
% keep playing until they win, or give up.

clear
clc
% Sets the magic number to 5
goal = 5;
% Asks user if they want to play
play = input('Would you like to play a game? Enter 1 for yes and 0 for no: ');
% This runs however many times the user wants to play/guess
while play == 1
% Takes user input on guess
guess = input('Please guess a number! ');
% Outputs if the guess is too low, too high or the magic number
if guess == 5
disp('Congratulations, you have won the guessing game!')
play = input('Would you like to play again? Enter 1 for yes and 0 for no: ');
elseif guess > 5
disp('Aww, not quite right, that is too high!')
