Question

Hello,

The first part of this problem was to create a basic temperature converter in MATLAB. I completed that part, but I am unsure how to execute these problems. I am VERY new to MATLAB so please show them in very basic beginner code and include in depth, detailed comments so that I can understand the processes. Please be sure to look at the example output as shown below. Also, please specify where the created text file is located.

Thank you

2. Writing a Random Temperature File (33 points) Write a function that writes a series of random Fahrenheit temperatures and their correspond- ing Celsius temperatures to a tab-delimited file. Use 32 to 212 as your temperature range. From the user, obtain the following: The number of temperatures to randomly generate. The name of the output file. A sample run is included below (you must follow the format provided below): Please enter the name of your file: Example txt Please enter the number of iterations: 100 Example txt Fahrenheit Celsius 111.29 44.05 78.71 25.95 137.66 58.70 88.17 31.20 etc... 3. Reading a Random Temperature File (34 points) Write a function that reads a file produced by Problem 2. Focusing only on the Celsius temperatures in the file, calculate and display to screen the following: Mean or Average Minimum Maximum

Explanation / Answer

Program :

function [] = FtoC()
fileName = input('please enter the name of your file : ');
numIteration = input('Please enter the number of iterations : ');
%%numIteration = str2num(numIteration);
fahreheitTemp = (212-32).*rand(numIteration,1)+32;
celsiusTemp = (fahreheitTemp(:,1)-32)*5/9;
fid = fopen(fileName, 'wt' );
fprintf(fid,'Fahrenheit Celsius');
for i=1:numIteration
fprintf(fid,' %f %f',fahreheitTemp(i,1),celsiusTemp(i,1));
end
end

Result: Example.txt
