Section 2: Identify any and all errors that would prevent the code from executing in the
following MATLAB/Octave statements. Warnings and "bad programming" are
acceptable. Those would not prevent the code from running. If you believe there are
no errors, write Ok. (3 pts each, no partial credit)

These problems contain a function program and the “main”
program that calls the function, each stored in a different
m-file. Identify all errors in the “main” or function
programs, if any exist.
6.
In the “main” program:
x = [3, 4, 5, 6 ; 7, 8, 9, 10];
h = pig( x(3,:) ) * pig( x(:,3) )
x does not have 3 rows
In pig.m:
function [ x ] = pig(y)
x = -10;
x = x + mean(y);
results = 10;
end
7.
In the “main” program:
x = [3, 4, 5, 6 ; 7, 8, 9, 10];
h = dog(x(1,:)) + b
b is not defined
In dog.m:
function [ x ] = pig(b)
x = -10;
x = x + mean(b);
b = (10-x);
results = 10;
end
8.
function name mismatches file name
In the “main” program:
x = [3, 4, 5, 5];
y = [6, 7];
[a] = cheese(x, y);
In cheese.m:
function [ results ] = cheese(y, x)
results = y + x
y and x have different dimensions
return

Section 5: Write a program to complete the following tasks. You do not have to write the
output of the code.
(5.1)
Write a program that calculates the sum of all integers that are smaller than 100 and
that are multiple of 2 and 9. Output the results in a file called table.txt. First column
should have the multiples of 2 and 9, and the second should have the cumulative sum.
You don’t need to display headers of the table (8 pts).
(5.2)
Write a function that returns the logical variable TRUE (which is 1) if its three integer
arguments form a Pythagorean triple. Note that a Pythagorean triple consists of three
positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2. Do not assume that the arguments
are entered in increasing order. Example: f(3,4,5) should return TRUE; f(13,12,5) should
return TRUE; f(1,2,3) should return FALSE (0) (8 pts).
(5.3)
Write a function that approximates the square root of a real number, A. The algorithm
is as follows. First choose an initial guess xi=G. Then refine the guess using the
following relation:
𝑥𝑛𝑒𝑤 =
1 𝐴
( + 𝑥𝑖 )
2 𝑥𝑖
If xnew is sufficiently close to xi, stop. Otherwise, set xi = xnew and continue refining the
guess. The function should also contain as input the initial guess, G. Your function
should be accurate to five decimal places (10 pts).
