ready = false;
while ~ready
n = input('Enter number of patients : ');
if ~isscalar(n) || n < 2 || n > 100 || abs(round(n)) ~= n
disp('You are only allowed within 2-100');
disp(' ');
else
ready = true;
end
end

Hi, if i dont want to put a range for the if situation
|| n < 2 || n > 100 ||
just only if not positive integer, it will loop till input is positive integer.
Can help me about how to write the code? Please?
