How to write a Questions that requires Yes or No asnwer

Hi,

I am trying to write a code where the user is ask a Yes or No questions and if they answer Yes the program conitunes if they answer No it ends

So far this is what i have

  % Get building id
    building_id = input('Enter the building ID >', 's');
    wall = input('Enter a Wall (Y/N)>','s');
    while wall == Y
        continue
        wall == N
            quit
    end

It is considered extremely rude to edit away your question. It might no longer be useful to you, but you're getting free help from random strangers on the internet. The least you can do is leave your question up so it can help future users with a similar issue. It is not by accident you weren't able to delete your question once it had an answer.

Hi Rik,

I completely understand that however the question i ask was incorrect i was unable to correctly explain what i was unsure about and therefore the answer that where given where great but didn't match up well with what my question was intending and i felt like it could cause confusion for other people looking for a similar questions and that is the reason why i edited it.

That doesn't matter. Your question still works independently (if I recall correctly), even if it doesn't solve your actual problem. The solution is to post your actual problem, not to attempt to delete this one.

I agree with Rik. Many times there are values to understand how a question or answer starts from its initial stage and becomes clear. Deleting the head makes the rest clueless and more confusing.

menu() only permits the user to cancel or choose one of the provided choices, so it becomes unnecessary to loop back until the user chooses Y or N because they cannot choose anything else.

Consider using questdlg() or menu()

Answer 2

[Fangjun Jiang]

    wall ='Y'
    while wall == 'Y'
      building_id = input('Enter the building ID >', 's');
      wall = input('Enter a Wall (Y/N)>','s'); 
    end

The user needs to input an answer of Y or N;

if it is N the code stop and calculator the answer ir the answer

if Y the user moves onto the next steps which is to calculate wall length

[Fangjun Jiang]

In your code, there are syntax errors.

This code runs. You just need to hook up with the rest of your code.

[Fangjun Jiang]

Maybe you need to consider using if-else statement, not the while loop.

You need to wrap the code in a function so you can use "return" to terminate the program based on the input.

function test
 wall = input('Enter a Wall (Y/N)>','s');
 if wall=='N'
     return;
 end
 % Get the wall id
    wall_id = input('Wall ID>');
