Options to use the switch case in matlab

3 views (last 30 days)
I am writing a program for adding and remove employee details using switch case statement.
Like the following
n=input('Enter the choice 1. Add 2. Remove');
switch n
case 1
Some operations
case 2
some operations
otherwise
fprintf('The choice does not exist. Please try again\n');
n=input('Enter the choice 1. Add 2. Remove');
end
i need a help in the above code. If the users enters the choice greater than 2, I should go back and execute the newly selected options( 1 or 2). Could you please help me with some options? Thanks

I'd suggest a couple alternatives...
  1. Limit the input to the range of the SWITCH statement in the section of code getting input before the construct; this lowers the complexity of the code structure having to encompass the whole thing,
  2. Consider LISTDLG as a way to accomplish 1) above...the user is given only the list of allowable choices from which to choose and includes a description as well as the visual clue rather than the text listing of options...

try this,
n = 3;
while(n~=1 || n~=2)
n=input('Enter the choice 1. Add 2. Remove');
switch n
case 1
Some operations
case 2
some operations
otherwise
fprintf('The choice does not exist. Please try again\n');
end
end

Don't do that. Why make it way more complicated than it needs to be? Use questdlg() instead.
buttonText = questdlg('Enter your choice', titleBarCaption, 'Add', 'Remove', 'Add');
if strcmpi(buttonText, 'Add')
% Code to add.
else
% Code to remove.
end
