I have written a code to calculate the end grade(sum) while dropping the lowest grade value between a specific number of columns in a matrix. This code only works for a 10*5 matrix I need to create a code that works for any size matrix. My current code will be written below. Thanks in advance.
function updatedGrades = computeTotal(sectionGrades) % Modify xxx,yyy to variable names of your choice. % Comment what this function is about here.
% Put the body of your function here. Don't forget to assign output variable! e.g. xxx = something
grades2=sectionGrades([1], [3:8]) grades3=sectionGrades([2], [3:8]) grades4=sectionGrades([3], [3:8]) grades5=sectionGrades([4], [3:8])
grades2a=sum(grades2)-min(grades2) grades3b=sum(grades3)-min(grades3) grades4c=sum(grades4)-min(grades4) grades5d=sum(grades5)-min(grades5)
grades23=grades2a+sum(sectionGrades([1], [9:10])) grades34=grades3b+sum(sectionGrades([2], [9:10])) grades45=grades4c+sum(sectionGrades([3], [9:10])) grades56=grades5d+sum(sectionGrades([4], [9:10]))
finalGrades=[grades23;grades34;grades45;grades56]
sectionGrades([1:4],[11])=finalGrades
updatedGrades=sectionGrades
