While loop with multiple conditional statements not working
Show older comments
I created this while loop but when I input a fraction that should terminate the loop it doesn't exit the loop.
Ratio=1;
while (Ratio~=0 || Ratio~=(1/2) || Ratio~=1/3 || ...
Ratio~=1/5 || Ratio~=1/11 || Ratio~=5/7)
Ratio=(input('Enter a ratio (parts of milk)/(parts of coffee): '));
if (Ratio~=0 || Ratio~=1/2 || Ratio~=1/3 || ...
Ratio~=1/5 || Ratio~=1/11 || Ratio~=5/7)
disp('Invalid input');
end
end

How can your variable Ratio have multiple values at the same time?

you will never quit the loop because:
if a~=1 | a~= 2
this expression is always true
maby you should write
if a~=1 & a~= 2
