error in running code

The following code checks for majority voting algorithm.

The input is 4 floating point numbers (0.40,0.40,0.40,0.30).

The amswer is 0.40.

simple code is written and does not work.

kinldy help me.

function candidate = MajorityVote(floatno)

n = size(floatno,2);

candidate = floatno(1);

counter = 0;

for ii=1:n

if counter == 0

candidate = floatno(ii);

counter = 1;

disp(candidate);

disp(counter);

elseif candidate == floatno(ii)

counter = counter + 1;

else

counter = counter - 1;

end

end

% STEP 2: Determine if the remaining element is a valid majority element.

counter = 0;

for ii = 1:n

if floatno(ii) == candidate

counter = counter + 1;

end

end

if counter < (n+1)/2

disp('There is no Majority');

candidate = '';

end

end

It is working. It has been tested in MATLAB 2019b (it is an M-file and not a function file in this test). It also runs well if saved as a function file (under file name: MajorityVote.m) without first two lines used for testing.

A= [0.40,0.40,0.40,0.30];
candidate = MajorityVote(A)
function candidate = MajorityVote(floatno)
n = size(floatno,2);
candidate = floatno(1);
counter = 0;
for ii=1:n
    if counter == 0
        candidate = floatno(ii);
        counter = 1;
        disp(candidate);
        disp(counter);
    elseif candidate == floatno(ii)
        counter = counter + 1;
    else 
        counter = counter - 1;
    end
end
% STEP 2: Determine if the remaining element is a valid majority element.
counter = 0;
for ii = 1:n
        if floatno(ii) == candidate
        counter = counter + 1;
    end
end
if counter < (n+1)/2 
    disp('There is no Majority');
    candidate = '';
end
end
