create a while loop to roll new dice in yahtzee in matlab

To create a while loop to roll new dice in Yahtzee, you'll need to use some basic Matlab functions. Here's an example code snippet that rolls five dice until the user is satisfied with the result:

main.m
while true
    % roll five dice
    dice = randi([1 6], [1 5]);

    % display the current roll and prompt the user to roll again
    disp(['Current roll: ' num2str(dice)]);
    str = input('Enter the dice you want to re-roll (e.g. 1 3 5): ', 's');

    % check if the user wants to roll again or keep the current roll
    if isempty(str)
        % user wants to keep the current roll
        break; % exit the loop
    else
        % user wants to re-roll some of the dice
        idx = str2num(str); % convert input to indexes
        dice(idx) = randi([1 6], size(idx)); % re-roll selected dice
    end
end

In this code snippet, the while loop runs indefinitely until the user decides to keep the current roll (by pressing Enter without entering any dice numbers). Inside the loop, the randi function is used to generate a random roll of five dice, and the disp function displays the current roll to the user. Then, the input function prompts the user to enter a list of dice indexes to re-roll. The if statement checks if the user wants to keep the current roll or re-roll some of the dice. If the user wants to re-roll some of the dice, the str2num function is used to convert the input string into a list of indexes, and the randi function is used again to generate new random values for the selected dice. Finally, the loop continues until the user decides to keep the current roll.
