Write a function count_odd that takes two arguments: low_bound and high_bound. The function counts how many odd values are there between the low_bound and the high_bound. Last it returns the number of odd numbers between these two values.

Here is what I have. All help is appreciated.

function count_odd(low_bound, high_bound)
% promt user to enter low_bound and high_bound
low_bound=input('Enter low bound: ')
high_bound=input('Enter high bound: ')

end

You are passing low_bound and high_bound into the function so you shouldn't then be asking for them as input.

Since it is your question though you need to show a little more effort that that on the actual question at hand - i.e. counting odd values.

doc rem
doc sum

would both be helpful for doing that.

How do I get it to display how many odd values there are? That is what I am not understanding. Say I enter 12 and 20, how do I get it to display 4 because that's how many odd values are between there.

[Adam]

The questions asks you to return it, not display it, so just calculate it in a variable and return that variable from the function.

l=1 %lower bound 

u = 9 %upper bound 

boundary_vector=l:u

counter = 0;

for i = 1:length(boundary_vector)

if rem(boundary_vector(i),2)==0

counter = counter + 1;

end

end

odds = length(boundary_vector) - counter

When I do this I get an error that say undefined function or variable n.

That's what often happens when you just copy someone's answer rather than work out how to do it yourself!

[Layken McMeekin]

I didn't just copy it. I have my own work down and used this as help. My code is a function because that is what the question asked for.

Updated the code, you can try it now
