Hi okoth ochola,
The answers to both of your queries are as follows:
- The error "Creating installer zip archive due to contents exceeding maximum Windows program size" you are encountering is not an error but a new feature in R2019a on Windows OS. The message in red is not error but warning i.e. the expected results and xxx.zip works fine. For more information regarding this warning, refer to the below MATLAB Answers: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/782413-why-do-i-get-error-of-exceeding-maximum-windows-program-size-when-i-compile-matlab-code-to-exe-file
- To keep your standalone application open for multiple runs without closing, you can modify your MATLAB script or function to incorporate a loop that allows for repeated execution. Refer to the below code as an example in which the app will keep on asking for the number to get the factorial until the user prompts for exit.
function calFact()
while true
% Prompt user for input
userInput = input('Enter a positive integer to calculate its factorial (or type "exit" to quit): ', 's');
% Check for exit condition
if strcmpi(userInput, 'exit')
disp('Exiting application...');
break;
end
% Convert input to a number
number = str2double(userInput);
% Validate input
if isnan(number) || number < 0 || floor(number) ~= number
disp('Please enter a valid positive integer.');
continue;
end
% Calculate factorial
result = factorial(number);
% Display result
fprintf('The factorial of %d is %d.\n', number, result);
end
end
calFact();
