I've been trying to get my function to return a single value, but no matter how I arrange it the statisic function(x) always comes back as the same array that it was sent in as. What seems to be the problem with my code?
file = input('Please input a file name. ', 's');
while exist(file)==0
file = input('That file does not exist, please input another file name. ', 's');
end
filename = load(file);
[Rows, Columns] = size(filename);
if Rows == 2
x= filename(1:Rows,:);
elseif Columns == 2
x = filename(:,1:Columns);
else
disp('This file is not stored in data or rows, please input a different data file.')
end
xMin = min(x)
xMax = max(x)
xMean = mean(x)
Returns:
xMin =
Columns 1 through 19
2 8 4 6 1 3 5 7 9 10 11 2 4 6 3 5 6 8 9
Columns 20 through 26
10 11 5 6 7 2 3
xMax =
Columns 1 through 19
71 58 75 90 82 85 89 85 94 90 81 97 94 93 65 48 62 80 85
Columns 20 through 26
90 86 85 78 79 60 89
xMean =
