Question

28 pts Question 8 Problem 4. Write the following function. Do NOT hard code using any of the examples. Your function should work for all possible inputs as specified by the problem. Hard coding will result in significant point loss. (B) (28 Points) Function Name: birthday Party Input (2): (char) An Mx 11 array formatted with information about various birthdays (char) An MxN array of names Output (l): (char) A string containing information about the best birthday Function Description: You are given a character array where each row represents a different birthday. The first 3 indices in the row contain the month abbreviated in 3-letter format (the first 3 letters of the month), all uppercase. Following the month information is one space, then the date, always given in 2 digits. Following the date information is one space, then the year, always given in 4 digits. You are also given a second character array where each row contains the name of a different person having the birthday in the corresponding row of the first array. Allof the names are guaranteed to be the same length. No two birthdays will have the same score. You are looking for the birthday with the highest score MacBoo

Answer 1

Matlab code for the problem

clc; clear; % Clearing the command window and workspace

% The given test examples

info = ['JUL 02 1998';

'AUG 05 2002';

'DEC 17 1920'];

names = ['Hannah';

'Daniel';

'Cedric'];

scoreString = birthdayParty(info,names) % Calling the function

% the function

function scoreString = birthdayParty(info,names)

scoreString = '';

[M,~] = size(names); % getting the nuber of persons

score = zeros(1,M); % Part 1 setting the scre to zero

for i = 1:M % lop for each person

Mth = info(i,1:3); % extracting the month from info

% Part 2 % checking the month and adding value to score

if (Mth=='JAN')|(Mth=='FEB')|(Mth=='MAR')|(Mth=='APR')|(Mth=='MAY')|(Mth=='JUN')

score(i) = score(i) + 3;

elseif (Mth=='JUL')|(Mth=='AUG')|(Mth=='SEP')|(Mth=='OCT')|(Mth=='NOV')|(Mth=='DEC')

score(i) = score(i) + 8;

end

Dt = str2num(info(i,5:6)); % extracting date from info

% Part 3 adding 2 points if the date is odd

if(mod(Dt,2) == 1)

score(i) = score(i) + 2;

end

Yr = str2num(info(i,8:11));% extracting the year from the info

% Part 4

if Yr<2000 % adding score 5 if the year is less than 2000

score(i) = score(i) + 5;

else % adding score 10 if the year is greater than or equal to 2000

score(i) = score(i) + 10;

end

end

[~,I] = max(score); % Checking the maximum score

% and creating the output string accordingly

scoreString = sprintf('%s has the coolest birthday with a score of %d!\n',names(I,:),score(I));

end
