Errors Within an If Statement
显示 更早的评论
I keep getting these errors and I'm not sure why. Could somebody check it over and see where I'm exactly going wrong?
function questionsasked()
question1=questdlg('Are you ready to start?',...%question box
'Questions',...
'Yes','No','No');
question2=questdlg('Do you know the keys on the piano?',...
'Questions',...
'Yes','Somewhat','No','No');
question3=questdlg('How did you learn?',...
'Questions',...
'Self-Taught','Lessons','Other','Other')
question4=questdlg('How long did you take lessons for?',...
'Questions',...
'<1 year','1-10 years','>10 years','>10 years')
question5=questdlg('Are you still taking lessons?',...
'Questions',...
'Yes','No','No')
%user must click yes in order to continue
while ~strcmp(question1,'No')%<SM:WHILE>
if strcmp(question1,'Yes')
if strcmp(question2,'Yes')
if strcmp(question3,'Self-Taught')
else strcmp(question3, 'Lessons')
if strcmp(question4,'<1 Year')
if strcmp(question5,'Yes')
else strcmp(question5,'No')
end
else strcmp(question4,'1-10 year')
if strcmp(question5,'Yes')
else strcmp(question5,'No')
end
else strcmp(question4, '>10 years') %error
if strcmp(question5,'Yes')
else strcmp(question5,'No')
end
else strcmp(question3, 'Other')%error
else strcmp(question2,'No')%error
end
end
end
end
question1=questdlg('Are you ready to start?',...%question box
'Questions',...
'Yes','No','No');
end

It looks like you think else is the same as elseif, it isn't. And what error are you getting exactly?

There are 2 elses:
else strcmp(question3, 'Lessons')
else strcmp(question3, 'Other')%error
You need to change them to an elseif conditional

For if elsif else conditionals, Matlab executes the statements in the first block who's logical expression true, then it jumps to end. Only one block of statements is executed. The else is synonymous with "otherwise". It has the statments which are executed if all the previous if and elseif conditionals fail, and only one else can be paired with one if.
Your error is because of the second else. You can have as many elseif conditionals as you like, they just need to appear between the if and the else. I think elseif is what you intend to use in your code. Hopefully this example is helpful.
if x < 5
disp('less than 5')
elseif x > 5
disp('greater than 5')
else
disp('equal to 5')
end
Suppose we set x=6 and then execute this code. Matlab first evaluates the expression x<5, which is not true, so it does not execute disp('less than 5'). Next it evaluates the expression x>5, which is true, so it executes disp('greater than 5') and jumps to end.
Now suppose we instead set x=5. Matlab first evaluates x<5, which is false, so it moves to the elseif conditional. x>5 is false, so it moves to the next block. The last block does not have any expression to evaluate (else statement are NOT allowed to have a logical expression), so disp('equal to 5') is executed, then Matlab jumps to end.

Do you mind clicking accept on my answer since it helped? When the function is called, the code executes from the top down. As it currently is, the user will see the five questions first, and their responses are stored as variables named question1, question2, etc. The while loop then uses the stored responses to do stuff. The order you have it now seems appropriate. You cannot put the while loop above the questions because
while ~strcmp(question1,'No')%<SM:WHILE>
will execute before question1 is defined, and Matlab will throw an error.

Glad I could help, and glad you got it working. For the future, if you find yourself using a lot of elseifs, you may want to consider using a switch. You can read about them in the documentation; they are just a lot easier to read than a whole bunch of elseifs.
