Using Matlab

Write a program that will give a user a list of hardware items to be purchased including:

Nails           @ $1.50/lb

Screws                @ $2.35/lb

Hammer     @ $20.29

Screw gun      @    $87.42

Sheet metal     @ 1.50/ft2

Have the user select their purchases then add up the bill and output the items bought and the total. Also charge the customer 6% sales tax. Use the switch statement and a while loop to keep asking your customer if they are done with their order.
