create a function that solves the average of an array in matlab

To create a function in MATLAB that calculates the average of an array, you can follow these steps:

1. Define the function using the function keyword followed by the output variable and input arguments.
2. Inside the function, calculate the sum of the array elements using the sum function.
3. Divide the sum by the total number of elements in the array to get the average.
4. Return the average as the output of the function.

Here's an example implementation:

main.m
function avg = calculateAverage(array)
    % Check if the input array is empty
    if isempty(array)
        error('Input array is empty!');
    end
    
    % Calculate the sum of array elements
    total = sum(array);
    
    % Calculate the average
    avg = total / numel(array);
end

Now, you can call the calculateAverage function by passing your array as an argument, and it will return the average.

main.m
array = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9];
average = calculateAverage(array);
disp(average);
75 chars
4 lines

This will display the average of the array, which in this case is 5.

Remember to replace array with the name of your actual array when using the function.
