why is my nested if statement not working?

n=27

while n>1

n=n-1;

shiptext= [22 6;38 21;24 36;2 30;6 2;15 31;22 15;24 15;10 33;29 11;32 15;29 21;31 4;25 27;29 27;10 11;35 17;15 14;22 20;21 29;23 22;3 22;33 9;8 38;10 4;11 29];

shipnumber= size(shiptext,1);

disp(shipnumber);

plot(shiptext(:,1),shiptext(:,2),'.')

idr1=randi(26,1,1);

row1=shiptext(idr1,:);

idr2=randi(26,1,1);

row2=shiptext(idr2,:);

a=row2-row1;

xdistance=a(1);

ydistance=a(2);

distance=sqrt(((xdistance)^2)+((ydistance)^2))

disp(distance)

if

distance<0.5

disp('warning')

end

end

Hi Josh,

The condition for the if statement must be placed side rather than in next line.

Update the code of if statement with this:

if distance<0.5 % the condition should be inline with the 'if'
    disp('warning');
end

This should solve.

Sriram

cheers for all the help, still learing at this point
