Have a partial code but I cant get it to perform where if falls to the right.

clc; clear;

stepx=0;
stepy=0;
lf=0;
rf=0;
docked=0;

trials=10^5;

for i=1:trials
    stepx=0;
    stepy=0;
    %     Looking to keep it between the stepx parameters and less that the
    %     stepy parameter before exiting while loop
    while stepx>-9 && stepx<9 || stepy<75 
        chance=randi(100);
        if chance<=75
            stepy=stepy+1;
        elseif 75>chance && chance<=89
            stepx=stepx+1;
        elseif 89>chance
            stepx=stepx-1;
        end
    end
    
    %     adding up the left fall, right fall, and docked
    if stepx==-9
        lf=lf+1;
    elseif stepx==9
        rf=rf+1;
    elseif stepy == 75
        docked = docked+1;
    end
end

disp(['The pirate fell off to the left ',num2str(lf),' times.'])        
disp(['This was ',num2str(lf/(trials)*100),'% of the time.'])
disp(' ')
disp(['The pirate fell off to the right ',num2str(rf),' times.'])        
disp(['This was ',num2str(rf/(trials)*100),'% of the time.'])
disp(' ')
disp(['The pirate got on board ',num2str(docked),' times.'])        
disp(['This was ',num2str(docked/(trials)*100),'% of the time.'])

@Blain Wood - I think you need to change the first condition of

elseif 75>chance && chance<=89

to

elseif 75 < chance && chance <= 89

Also, change

elseif 89>chance

to

elseif 89 < chance

or just use an else instead.

got it, thanks a lot!
