create a function to evaluate if a value is inside a range in matlab

You can create a function in MATLAB to evaluate if a value is inside a range by defining the minimum and maximum values of the range as inputs to the function and using logical indexing to check if the value is inside the range. Here's an example of what such a function might look like:

main.m
function isInsideRange = checkRange(value, minVal, maxVal)
% This function checks if a given value is inside a range defined by minVal and maxVal.
%
% Input Arguments:
%   - value: the value to check
%   - minVal: the minimum value of the range
%   - maxVal: the maximum value of the range
%
% Output:
%   - isInsideRange: a logical value indicating if the value is inside the range (1) or not (0)

isInsideRange = (value >= minVal) & (value <= maxVal);

end

To use this function, you would simply call it and provide the necessary inputs (value, minVal, and maxVal), and it would return a logical value indicating whether the value is inside the range or not. Here's an example of how you might use this function:

main.m
% Define the range
minVal = 5;
maxVal = 10;

% Check if a given value is inside the range
value = 7;
isInsideRange = checkRange(value, minVal, maxVal);

% Display the result
if isInsideRange
    disp('The value is inside the range');
else
    disp('The value is outside the range');
end

This would output "The value is inside the range", since 7 is between 5 and 10.
