create a function to find a 5 of a kind in matlab

To create a function to find a 5 of a kind in Matlab, we can use an array to store the values and logic statements to check if the condition is met.

Here's an example function:

main.m
function found = findFiveOfKind(array)

    % sort the array
    sortedArray = sort(array);

    % loop through the array from the start, checking each value against the next 4 values
    for i = 1:(length(sortedArray)-4)
        if sortedArray(i) == sortedArray(i+1) && sortedArray(i) == sortedArray(i+2) && sortedArray(i) == sortedArray(i+3) && sortedArray(i) == sortedArray(i+4)
            found = true; % if 5 of a kind is found, set found to true and exit the loop
            return;
        end
    end

    found = false; % if 5 of a kind is not found in the loop, set found to false
end

This function takes an array as input and returns a boolean value indicating whether or not a 5 of a kind was found in the array.

To use this function, simply call findFiveOfKind(array) and pass in the array you want to check. The function will return true if a 5 of a kind is found, and false otherwise.
