matlab question please need answer very quickly.. it is a challenge for you as well !

Let S(t) be the price of one share of a particular company at time t. If the price S(t+1) at time t+1 can either take the value of uS(t) with probability p(1) ( where u > 1), remain the same with probability p(2) or go down to dS(t) with probability 1 - p(1) - p(2) ( where 0<d<1), create a Matlab function that simulates {S(t)} from t=0 to 20 for given u,d,p(1),p(2) and plots S(t) against t. Hence, by counting the number of paths, calculate the probability that S(6)=S(0)*u^2*d^3. USE THE COMMAND RAND.

Wow, Lindsay, this is bold. At first you claim the you need the answer quickly and try to push us. Then you remove the question, what is unfriendly. This reduces your chances, that you get any answers in the future.

I've restored the original text of this question for future reference, though I have misgivings about it hanging around (it should probably be closed or deleted).
@Lindsay, in the future please do not edit away your questions--as many contributors have pointed out, it makes it very unlikely that you'll receive help in the future.

It's not really a challenge for us - not difficult enough. Homework Hint:
randomNumber = rand(1)
if randomNumber < p(1)
% Case 1
S(t) = u * S(t-1);
elseif randomNumber < p(1) + p(2)
% Case 2: Price remains the same.
else
% Case 3: Price decreases.
S(t) = d * S(t-1);
end

(Sigh. Then sound of hand slapping forehead) I give up. You don't even know what a for loop is, and then you edit the question, essentially removing it. I gave you 99% of the answer. but apparently you can't continue unless I give you all 100%. Really - I'm done here. Good luck.
To find out "for" and "end" are used for, look here: For loops

hi, i think there was a similar question just two days a go :
try to enhance this version:
u=1.33;
d=0.75;
p1=0.44;
p2=0.25;
p3=1-p1-p2;
t=0:1:20;
St=zeros(size(t));
St(1)=400; % S(t=0)=S0
for n=1:length(t)-1
r=rand(1); % ~(Uniform)
if r>p3 && r<p2
St(n+1)=d*St(n);
elseif r>p2 && r<p1
St(n+1)=St(n);
elseif r>p1
St(n+1)=u*St(n);
end
end
figure, plot(t,St), xlabel('time (DISCRET)'), ylabel(' PRICE in $');
%
