Switch/Case and operators

38 次查看(过去 30 天)
I running this code and and I don't understand why it is writing me that x is less than y... can you help me figure this out?
>> x = 222, y = 3;
switch x
case x==y
disp('x and y are equal');
case x>y
disp('x is greater than y');
otherwise
disp('x is less than y');
end
x =x =
222
x is less than y
thank's.

Dear Googo,
The resullt of Relational Operators is Boolean meaning it takes value 1 for true and 0 for false. Hence case can only be 0 or 1 in your code, which is not desired velue for your x. That's why "otherwise" and "disp('x is less than y');" will be executed for any value of your x and y.
The solution is that, you put x beside of your Relational Operators to keep the value of the x, such as bellow.
>> x = 222, y = 3;
switch x
case x*(x==y)
disp('x and y are equal');
case x*(x>y)
disp('x is greater than y');
otherwise
disp('x is less than y');
end
%%%%%% Result %%%%%
x =
222
x is greater than y

In your case you should use if/elseif
x = 222, y = 3;
if x==y
disp('x and y are equal');
elseif x>y
disp('x is greater than y');
else
disp('x is less than y');
end

Thanks for the comment! But it will be a little bit long because I need to check a specific date if the year is less then 1000 or 100 or 10 and put 3/2/1 zeros before respectivlly.. for example 1/1/800 will be 1/1/0800 same for the days and the month, if the month is less than 10... any way to shorten this out? if not... I guess I can write a number of if's but maybe there is another suggestion... thank you very much...

Don't do this. Let sprintf care about leading zeros:
a = [1,2,800];
sprintf('%d/%d/%04d', a);

Hi, there.
From my point of view, the resullt of comparison operation is Boolean meaning it takes value 1 for true and 0 for false. Hence first the relational operation besides the case is evaluated and then compared to the expression besides the switch.
x = 222, y = 3;
switch x
case x==y % once the program runs, it will find that x is not equal to y meaning it is false and it
has value of zero. And zero is not equal to the value of x therefore it willnot
execute this body.
disp('x and y are equal');% same here too but x is greater than y it is true and has value of 1 but
1 is not equal to 222 therefore body in otherwise is executed
case x>y
disp('x is greater than y');
otherwise
disp('x is less than y');
end

change the switch x to switch true and then it will work.

switch(m)
case 1
if(d>=1 && d<=19)
message = sprintf('\noptimistic, lovers of freedom, hilarious, fair-minded, honest and intellectual. \nThey are spontaneous and fun, usually with a lot of friends');

else
