The professors for EAS 230 teach the following lecture sections: Dr. Alaa Hassan All: Sections A and B Dr. William Banas: Section C The TAs for EAS 230 teach the following lab sections: Afsoun: A3, A4, and B4 Mike: A1, A2, and B3 Ge: C1, c2, and C4 Roy. B1, B2, and C3 Using a switch/case structure, write a MATLAB script where the user will Input their lab section (from the keyboard) and the following messages will be displayed: Your professor is . Your TA is . If the lab section entered is not listed above, the script should display: Not a valid lab section!

Solution

% section takes the input and trims the leading and trailing blank spaces
section = strtrim(input (\'Enter your lab section in Capital: \',\'s\'));
% printing the lab section %s is the string variable \'section\'
fprintf(\'Your lab section is %s.\ \', upper(section));
% upper convert any input to Capital case
% section(1) refers to the first character of the input like if the input is A3 then section(1)= A and section(2)=3

switch upper(section(1))
% case have 2 condition it can take either A or B   
case {\'A\', \'B\'}
fprintf(\'Your professor is Dr Alaa Hassan Ali.\ \' );

case \'C\'
fprintf(\'Your professor is Dr William Banas.\ \' );
otherwise
fprintf(\'Not a valid Lab section\ \' );
end

switch upper(section)
  
case {\'A3\', \'A4\', \'B4\'}
fprintf(\'Your TA is Afsoun.\ \' );
case {\'A1\', \'A2\',\'B3\'}
fprintf(\'Your TA is Mike.\ \' );
case {\'C1\',\'C2\',\'C4\'}
fprintf(\'Your TA is Ge.\ \' );
case {\'B1\',\'B2\',\'C3\'}
fprintf(\'Your TA is Roy.\ \' );
otherwise
fprintf(\'Not a valid Lab section\ \' );
