Compare two inputs based on closeness in value to a variable?

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write a statement that compares two inputs to a number. Depending on which of them is closer to that number, a statement will use the closer variable that in a calculation.
So for example, I have two inputs from a GUI.
x = 44, and y = 52
Whichever one is closer to 51 will be used in an equation (i.e. y)
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thank you!

What about solving the equal distance ambiguity with for instance
if abs(x - 51) > abs(y - 51)
z = y;
else
z=x
end
if abs(x - 51) == abs(y - 51)
z = [x y];
end

Thanks for your feedback! You're absolutely right, but this is actually being used in a GUI where I prevent x and y from being equal to each other with error messages and a break statement.
