Problem 1713. Can you beat the lottery?
Well this one you may not get every time, but it is a lottery! Here is the code that generates the lottery numbers (you can try to use it to your advantage if you can):
check = 1; while check == 1 D1 = round(rand(1,1)*5+1); D2 = round(rand(1,1)*5+1); D3 = round(rand(1,1)*5+1); draw = sort([D1 D2 D3]); if size(unique(fn), 2) == 3 check = 0; end end
So "draw" is the draw that is made. It is made up of 3 numbers between 1 and 5. Note that the numbers do not repeat. SO an example of an input is:
lottery = [4 3 5];
Now the odds are 1 in 10 (or at least that is the total combinations that can occur), so if you get it exactly you win! (you win the correct answer...)
Good luck, and please play responsibly...

You need to test with more than one number. Many attempt (and succeed) with a static vector solution until they are lucky.
When i run the program it says fn is undefined. Please explain
