Using a function to calculate and average

I'm attempting to use a function to take in 12 inputs from the user and calculate an average of the inputs, the output should then be to output a 'pass' or 'fail' comment depending on the average being above/below a certain value.

The main issue I'm having is doing this within a function as writing a program for this in a script would not be a problem, however, I think my base understanding of how a function operates is not quite there despite reading up on all I can find about utilizing functions to do something like this.

Not looking for a specific solution but any aid in helping me understand how to solve this would be ideal, thanks!

Are you asking for some documentations for how functions works in general or are you asking for how to ask inputs from command line?

Just put your 12 inputs into an array and pass them to the function as an argument:

function result = calculate( inputs )

...

end

and the body of your function can be just as you would do it in a script. Dealing with 12 individual arguments would be silly so putting them in an array is much easier and makes the averaging a simple one line command.

Reading through this might help and focus on the examples of how Matlab's 'mean' function works.
