I am learning matlab and am practicing functional decomposition.
I basically had a long piece of code which worked, but I am trying to break it into smaller pieces with supporting function.
I've spent ages debugging it, and have got my first supporting function 'readAndPrintMonths' working but am having problems with 'calculationLoop'
error messages I am currently getting are:
Error using month (line 36) Please enter D.
Error in printMonthlyStats>calculationLoop (line 20) monthData = data(month, 3 : 33);
Error in printMonthlyStats (line 6) calculationLoop(data, months)
Anyhere here is the code.
function printMonthlyStats (inputCsvFilename)
% Reads a csv file of daily rainfalls over a year.
% Prints the total, max, and average rainfalls for each month.
[data, months] = readAndPrintMonths(inputCsvFilename);
for month = 1 : 12
[total, mean, maxFall] = calculationLoop(data, months)
end
end
function [data, months] = readAndPrintMonths(Filename)
% creates all required headings
data = csvread(Filename);
months = ['Jan';'Feb';'Mar';'Apr';'May';'Jun';'Jul';'Aug';'Sep';'Oct';'Nov';'Dec'];
fprintf('Monthly rainfall statistics\n');
fprintf('Month Total Max Mean\n');
end
function [total, mean, maxFall] = calculationLoop(data, months)
% runs a loop containing calculations for total mean and max rainfall
monthData = data(month, 3 : 33);
daysInMonth = data(month, 2);
total = sum(monthData);
mean = total / daysInMonth;
maxFall = max(monthData);
fprintf(' %3s %5.1f %5.1f %5.1f \n', months(month, 1:3), total, maxFall, mean);
end
