List all 6 whole number between -3.5 and 5.5

List all 6 whole number between -3.5 and 5.5

[Image Analyst]

Since that would be -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5, which is 9 numbers, which subset of 6 do you want? The non-negative ones like 0 through 5?

This looks like a homework problem. If you have any questions ask your instructor or read the link below to get started:

How do I get help on homework questions on MATLAB Answers? - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central

Obviously we can't give you the full solution because you're not allowed to turn in our code as your own.

If I understand correctly, you can do it like this:

a = -3.5;
z =  5.5;

aWhole = ceil(a)

aWhole = -3

zWhole = floor(z)

zWhole = 5

list = aWhole:1:zWhole

list = 1×9

-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

If you wish to automate this, you can add some if statements (if a < 0) --> use ceil() or (if a > 0) --> use floor().

@Vilém Frynta - please dont do obvious homework assignments for students who have shown no attempt at even trying to solve a simple problem. This does not help the student, as it teaches them only to post more homeworkassignemtns the same way. It does not help other students, who then decide they too can post their homework assignments the same way. And it hurts the site itself, as then too many students decide that Answers is just a homework service, where we do their homework for them.

Homework is assigned to a student for them to learn from. If they make no effort, they will learn nothing.

Hi John,

I just recently started to answer people on Matlab Answers in my free time. As I am new to "Matlab Answers culture", I had no idea that helping people do their homework is not very popular here. Given that, I didn't even try to recognize if it was homework. Plus, I'm no expert, so I was happy to be helpful and help someone with a simple question

From now on, I will try to recognize whether the question is genuine or just homework-ish. Sorry.

Hi Vilem,

Helping with homework is unpopular here when people make no attempt at a problem and appear to be looking for someone to just supply them with an answer. On the other hand If someone has made a real effort, for example by posting some code that is a good approach but doesn't quite work, or something similar, then giving that person some assistance can be an appropriate thing to do.

Understood, thanks.
