make a thermostat that triggers heat and cold in matlab

Here's a sample code for a thermostat that triggers heat and cold in MATLAB:

main.m
temperature = input('Enter room temperature: ');
thermostat = input('Enter the desired temperature: ');

while (1)
    if (temperature < thermostat)
        disp('Heating turned ON');
        disp(['Current temperature: ' num2str(temperature)]);
        temperature = temperature + 1;
    elseif (temperature > thermostat)
        disp('Cooling turned ON');
        disp(['Current temperature: ' num2str(temperature)]);
        temperature = temperature - 1;
    else
        disp('Thermostat reached. Heating/Cooling turned OFF');
        break
    end
end

This code prompts the user to input the current temperature and the desired temperature for the room, then goes into a while loop. Inside the loop, it checks whether the current temperature is less than or greater than the desired temperature, and turns on either the heating or the cooling accordingly. It then displays the current temperature and increments/decrements it by 1 unit. If the current temperature is equal to the desired temperature, the loop breaks and the heating/cooling turns off.

Note that this is just a basic example and assumes that the heating/cooling system is already in place and can be turned on/off by the program. Real-world implementation of a thermostat would involve much more complexity and safety considerations.
