Question

During the past decade ocean levels have been rising faster than in the past, an average of approximately 3.1 millimeters per year. Write a program that computes how much ocean levels are expected to rise during the next 15 years if they continue rising at this rate. Display the answer in both centimeters and inches.

Answer 1

Please find below required MATLAB code along with necessary details in comments:

function rise_in_oceanLevel(yrs)
% INPUT:
% yrs: no. of years for which rise to be computed

for i=1:yrs
RiseMM(i) = 3.1 *yrs; % total rise in MM
RiseCM(i) = RiseMM(i) * 0.1; % % total rise in CM
RiseIn(i) = RiseMM(i) * 0.0393701; % total rise in Inches
end

% display the result
disp('During the next 15 years ocean levels are expected to rise:');
fprintf(' %3.4f centmeters per year.',RiseCM(i));
fprintf(' %3.4f inches per year.',RiseIn(i));
end

========================================= main script to call the above function

clear all; clc; close all;
