AI Thread Summary
To generate an error message in MATLAB and prompt for a new input when the value of A exceeds 5, a while loop can be utilized. The loop should continuously request input until a valid value is provided. The structure involves using the input function to capture the value of A, followed by a conditional check. If A is greater than 5, the program displays a message and reverts to the input prompt. This approach ensures that the user can correct their input without exiting the program. For further details, MATLAB's documentation on while loops can provide additional guidance.

Hi there, I have a question about generating an error message in MATLAB..

say, A = input('Value of A = ')
if A > 5
disp ('Value of A is larger than 5')
else

end


So, question here is... How can I make the program stop once it finds out A is larger than 5 and returns to the previous command where it asks for the value of A so we can input a new value of A?

You can put the whole process into a while loop. Search help in Matlab for the usage of while. There are lots of other good stuff on the internet also.
