How to use 'Switch case' with Matlab Function Block in Simulink?

15 views (last 30 days)
I'm able to run the following code in MATLAB:
n = input('n: ');
x = 3;
y = 2;
switch n
case 1
z = (x-y)/2
case 2
z = (x+y)/2
end
I want the 'n' value to come from a constant (or any other input block), which goes to MATLAB Function Block, and display the output when I simulate the Simulink model. Something like this:
I edited the Function Block's code as follows:
function result = fcn(n)
%#codegen
x = 3;
y = 2;
switch n
case 1
z = (x-y)/2
case 2
z = (x+y)/2
end
Its giving me several errors:
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my code or any other fixes to make this thing work?
Thanking You, Harshil

What if n is different from 1 and 2? Try this
function result = fcn(n)
%#codegen
x = 3;
y = 2;
z=0;
switch n
case 1
z = (x-y)/2
case 2
z = (x+y)/2
end

I tested this code, it works fine. Post your real code, we can't find the problem with another code.

Mr. Azzi, The real code just has more variables and multiple outputs within the 'cases'. So I simplified the problem for myself to see if it works or not. Still no improvement. I tried the exact code which you posted but Simulink did not give me an output, just errors. Do I need any additional compiler? (I already have the SDK, which lets me use and simulate Matlab function blocks for general purposes). I just want the function block to take the value 1 or 2 from a 'constant' block, and display the output '0.5' or '2.5' (depending on the case) in a 'display' block, when I simulate the model in Simulink.
Thanking you, Harshil

</matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/96734/Screenshot%20(29).png>This code does not work. for first range of values output should be only at y and for second range ouput should be at y1. please suggest me the modifications to run the program successfully. Thanks and Regards Anjum

you missed otherwise + statement,you can try this:
function result = fcn(n)
%#codegen
x = 3;
y = 2;
switch n
case 1
z = (x-y)/2
case 2
z = (x+y)/2
otherwise
z = ??
end
